Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, sugar, and orange peel until everything is nice and smooth. Then, beat in the milk and egg until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pudding mix, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low just until everything comes together. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts by hand. Drop spoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for around 12 minutes, or until the cookies are set. Let them cool on the sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
