These are pretty much totally delicious. The recipe is adjusted for the elevation in Broomfield, CO so if you live at a lower elevation, you don't need quite as much flour...
3/4 c Butter Flavor Crisco
1 1/4 c firmly packed brown sugar
2 Tbs milk
1 Tbs vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 c + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c pecan pieces
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 of dough 3 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes for chewy cookies and 11-13 minutes for chewy cookies (I did them about 9 1/2 minutes). Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes. Remove to cooling rack. Makes 3 dozen 3-inch cookies.
