50gpecan pieces(optional, alternatively other nuts can be used)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 150 °C / 300 °F.
Cream butter with sugar till light and fluffy. The colour of the mixture should be pale.
Add salt, milk, vanilla essence and flour and mix well. This will form a dough and should no longer be sticky; it will become possible to shape it into a ball without the dough falling apart.
Add chocolate chips and nuts to the dough.
Shape the dough into medium sized balls and use your fingers to flatten the balls into 5-7 mm thick cookies.
Place on a baking tray and ensure a 4 cm gap between each cookie.
