Ingredients

  • cup butter flavored shortening

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup chopped pecans (Optional)

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Stir in the pecans and chocolate chips. Use a measuring tablespoon to round dough into balls. Don't roll the balls, just make them rounded. Place onto ungreased baking sheets.
