Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup butter-flavored Crisco
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using an electric hand mixer, beat Crisco, butter, brown sugar, white sugar, milk and vanilla. Add eggs and beat until nice and fluffy. Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Stir into sugar mixture just until combined. Gently stir in chocolate chips. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet lined with a silpat mat. Bake for 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Don't over bake! Move to wax paper immediately after removing from the oven.

Serve with ice cream or a tall glass of milk!

Makes 5-6 dozen cookies.
