I highley recommend buying an Amish cook book at some point in your life! They are filled with the best (and simplest) recipes you will ever find. Here is one of them:

Ultimate chocolate chip cookies

3/4 cup butter flavored crisco
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup pecans, chopped

Heat oven to 375.

Combine all ingredients. Bake 10 minutes, remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet about 8-10 minutes (until next batch is done). Place sheets of foil on counter top for cooling cookies the rest of the way.
