Day 21: A Recipe
ahhhh. the recipe we use to make chocolate chip cookies. we've had it maybe my whole life. haha. it came with a package of Crisco and we just keep it and whip it out when we need it. I found it on their website, so hopefully they haven't changed it since then. please try these. they're so delicious.
it makes about 3 dozen cookies, by the way. and we don't do the whole nut thing. but if you like nuts, go for it.

3/4 stick Crisco® Butter Flavor All-Vegetable Shortening Sticks
OR 3/4 cup Crisco® Butter Flavor All-Vegetable Shortening

1 large egg
1 3/4 cups Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 (6 oz.) package semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans (optional)

2.COMBINE shortening, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended. Beat in egg. Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Mix into shortening mixture until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
