Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

3/4 stick Crisco shortening
1 1/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c. chopped pecans (optional)

Heat oven to 375.  Beat shortening and brown sugar in large bowl on medium speed with electric mixer until light and fluffy.  Beat in milk, vanilla and egg.  Combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir into shortening mixture until blended.  Stir in chocolate chips and pecans, if desired.  Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet.  Bake 8-13 minutes until lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes.  Remove to wire rack to cool completely.

(This is one of my all-time favorite cookie recipes!)
