Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe is usually on the package of Crisco Butter flavored sticks.   It’s not a secret! 

Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter flavored Crisco
1 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla flavoring (I don’t use imitation)
1 egg
1 3/4 cup plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon soda

1 cup chocolate chips (I use more, and sometimes add white chocolate chips too)
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)


Cream the Crisco with the sugar, add milk, egg, and vanilla.

Add the flour, salt, and soda and beat very well with mixer.

Fold in chips and nuts.

I bake at 325 degrees 8-10 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE if you want soft chewy cookies.

I always make at least a double recipe.  My KitchenAid mixing bowl will handle a triple recipe.

 I put the dough in containers and freeze it.  It can be scooped out easily right out of the freezer. (Crisco won’t freeze hard!)
