Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

This a slightly modified version of the recipe found on Crisco's Butter Flavored Shortening.
Makes 3 dozen cookies

¾ c. Butter Flavor Crisco Shortening
1 ¼ c. firmly packed light brown sugar (works w/ dark brown sugar, too)
2 T. milk
1 T. vanilla
1 egg
2 c. flour (I like to do 1 c. white flour & 1 c. wheat flour)
1 t. salt
¾ t. baking soda
1 ½ - 2 c. milk chocolate chips (I always do part chocolate chips & part peanut butter chips…Yummy!)

Heat oven to 375°. Combine Crisco, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla in large bowl. Beat 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. Drop using cookie scoop 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake one baking sheet at a time at 375° for 8-10 minutes for chewy cookies, or 11 to 13 minutes for crisp cookies. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove cookies to cooling rack to cool completely.

These cookies are really good. My siblings and their spouses request them & they are one of my downfalls.--Keri
