-
Heat oven to 375°.
-
Cream butter flavor 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" apart on ungreased baking sheet.
-
Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes for chewy cookies (they will look light and moist).
-
DO NOT OVERBAKE or 11 to 13 minutes for crisp cookies.
-
Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes.
-
Transfer to cool rack.
-
3 dozens 3-inch cookies. Note: if nuts are omitted, use 1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips.
-
Note: I add 2 Tbsp of additional flour per batch. This makes the batter a little easier to spoon out on to the cookie sheet, and gives you a more full bodied cookie that is still chewy, gooey and delicious, without being flat, hard and crunchy.
