I’ve never tried Butter Flavored Crisco, though I swear by the regular white Crisco. It’s a must item for every kitchen -- at least one you plan to use for baking. This recipe is enough to make me purchase some Butter Flavored Crisco just because the cookies sound so wonderful. This recipe came from an advertisement for, you guessed it, Crisco.
Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies
¾ cup Butter Flavor Crisco
1 ½ cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 egg
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup large pecan pieces
NOTE: If nuts are omitted, use 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Cream Crisco, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl. Blend until creamy. Blend in egg.
Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture, gradually. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls (about 2 measuring tablespoons) of dough 3-inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes for chewy cookies (they will look light and moist -- DO NOT OVERBAKE), 11 to 13 minutes for crisp cookies.
Cook on baking sheet for 2 minutes. Remove to cooling rach.
Makes 3 dozen 3-inch cookies.
