Chandi's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ok, it is no surprise that I am a sucker for a chocolate chip cookie. I am normally pretty partial to the semi-sweet variety, but at our last book club, Chandi shared these, and they are a tasty base for the milk chocolate kind. I always appreciate a good soft cookie, not hindered by those pesky nuts.
1 c. butter flavored Crisco
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla (glad I just replenished my Mexican stash)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 1/4- 2 1/2 c. flour

Cream together Crisco and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Add the chocolate (around 2 1/2 c. - I used a mix of mini Kisses and regular milk chocolate chips).
Drop by rounded teaspoon and bake at 375 for 11-12 minutes. Remove and cool. The pictures are from the first tray...I added an additional 1/3 c. flour to the remaining dough and the rest did not flatten as much, but I was too busy eating to take another picture.
Pour some milk and enjoy.
