Learn how to make delicious chocolate chip cookies.

• 3/4 cup butter flavored shortening
• 1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans (optional)*

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Place sheets of foil on countertop for cooling cookies. Combine butter flavored shortening, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla in large bowl. Beat with mixer at medium speed until well blended. Beat egg into creamed mixture.

Combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix into creamed mixture just until blended. Stir in chocolate chips and pecan pieces.

Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake one baking sheet at a time for 8 to 10 minutes for chewy cookies, or 11 to 3 minutes for crisp cookies. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove cookies to foil to cool completely.

* If nuts are omitted, ad an additional 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips.

Gift Ideas

Use these treats as gifts! Using plastic wrap, place 2-3 treats in the center and gather the ends at the top. Finish it by securing each bundle with a ribbon. Line a cookie tin with tissue paper, flare out the edges for a decorative look. Then carefully place the goodies into the cookie tins, fold the edges of the tissue paper carefully over the top of the treats and secure with cookie tin lid. Adorn the top with a colorful bow.
