This is the best recipe I've tried so far. Moist and chewy and they disappear in the blink of an eye!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter flavor shortening
1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (*) (optional)
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees (350 if using convection).
2. Combine shortening, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla in large bowl.
3. Beat at medium speed until well blended.
4. Beat egg into mixture.
5. Combine flour, salt, and baking soda.
6. Mix into creamed mixture just until blended.
7. Add chocolate chips and nuts and mix.
8. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough on ungreased baking sheet about 3 inches apart (I prefer to use a baking stone).
9. Bake 8-10 minutes for chewy, 11-13 minutes for crisp cookies.
10. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet then transfer to foil to cool completely.
11. *If nuts are used decrease chips to 1 cup.
