3/4 cup butter-flavored shortening
1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tbsp milk
1 tbsp vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine shortening, brown sugar,
milk, and vanilla in large bowl. Beat with mixer at medium speed
until well blended. Beat egg into creamed mixture.
Combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix into creamed mixture just
until blended. Stir in chocolate chips and pecan pieces.
