Ingredients:

• ¾ cup Butter Flavor Crisco

• 1 ¼ cups firmly packed brown sugar

• 2 tbsp milk

• 1 tbsp vanilla

• 1 egg

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp. salt

• ¾ tsp. baking soda

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

• 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Preparation:

1. Heat oven to 375°. Place sheets of foil on countertop for cooling cookies.

2. Combine Butter Flavor Crisco, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until well blended. Beat egg into creamed mixture.
