1 1/3 c Golden Crisco
1 c Granulated sugar
2/3 c Firmly packed brown sugar
1 tb Vanilla
2 Eggs, slightly beaten
2 1/4 c All-purpose flour
2/3 c Cocoa
1 ts Baking soda
1 ts Salt
1/4 c Milk
1 1/2 c Large, broken pecan or
Walnut pieces
1 c Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Combine Crisco, granulated sugar, brown
sugar and vanilla in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer on low
speed for 1 minute or until creamy. Add beaten eggs. Combine flour,
cocoa, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture alternately with
milk, beating on low speed for about 1 minute, or just until blended.
Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Drop dough by heaping spoonfuls
(about 2T for each cookie) on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 6 to 9 at
a time, leaving about 3 inches between cookies for spreading. Bake
for 10 to 12 minutes. Cookies will appear soft and moist when baked,
but firm up on cooling. Cool 2 minutes, then remove to cooling rack.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
Note: Smaller cookies can be made using 1T dough for each cookie. Bake
8-10 minutes. Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
