"This recipe began as the base for a peanut butter chocolate thumbprint. I liked it so much, though, I decided to turn it into its own cookie recipe. --Becky Tarzlaff, Newton, Kansas"

Directions
- In a mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Beat in egg yolks, milk and vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Roll into 1-1/2-in. balls. Beat egg whites until foamy. Dip each ball halfway into egg whites, then in pecans. Place pecan side up 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Flatten slightly with a glass dipped in sugar. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-14 minutes or until firm. Carefully remove to wire racks to cool.
