Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies in Recipes

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 1/2 cup + 6 tbsp Butter or margarine (Crisco butter flavored shortening works very well)^
• 1 cup Brown sugar (I prefer dark brown sugar, more molasses)
• 1/4 cup White sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups Flour
• 1 tsp Baking soda
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 3 cups Oatmeal

• 1 bag of Semi-sweet Chocolate Morsels

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

• Beat butter(s) & sugars together until creamy.
• Add eggs ad vanilla and mix until it is blended together.
• In separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt and mix together (I use a fork).
• Slowly combine dry mixture with the wet mixture and mix well.
• Add oats and chocolate chips.
• Spoon onto ungreased baking sheet to desired size.
• Bake 8-10 minutes, or until cookies are slightly browned around the edges.

This recipe is pretty easy, and produces wonderfully delicious cookies. It’s a recipe my mom and I adapted from the Quaker Oats “Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies” recipe. Their recipe called for slightly different measurements, raisins instead of chocolate chips, and cinnamon.

^ I actually prefer to use half butter and half shortening. Especially in larger batches.
