I have a recipe book that was compiled by the extended family of a friend of my aunt. Everyone in that family submitted recipes, they sent them off to a printer and had books made. There was a minimum order and, in the end, there were too many. So, friends and family of friends received copies also. My brother uses this cookbook alot. I often ask him for a recipe and he tells me that I already have it -- in this cookbook. Well, this week I was flipping through it and I found a recipe for chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. It''s nothing fancy, just oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips really. But they've been in the fridge for two days and they're almost gone. I just can't stop!
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
2 cup oatmeal
1 tsp hot water
2 cups chocolate chips
Heat oven to 375. Cream sugars, shortening and butter. Add eggs, salt, soda, vanilla and mix well. Add flour, oatmeal and water. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake at 375 for 10 to 15 minutes.
Makes about 4 dozen.
