How to Make The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter-flavored Crisco, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups of chocolate chips and ½ cup of chopped pecans.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving 3 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes for chewy cookies or 11-13 minutes for crispier cookies. Keep a close eye on them as oven temperatures can vary.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
