Last night Aaron and I decided we wanted a snack, and so I thought of the different cookies I could make. Aaron requested oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, which I haven't made before, so I found this recipe on allrecipes.com, with a few modifications. I think they turned out really great!
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
*** Cream all of these together ***
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
*** Add these together ***
2 cups of rolled oats
2 cups of chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate, but the recipe calls for semi-sweet)
*** Mix these in by hand ***
I use the "Trunnell cookie scoop" which looks like a little ice cream scooper, but the recipe just says drop the dough on the pan by Tablespoons... Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes, depending on how crunchy you want them. I think these are actually better just a little darker - then they are crunchy and chewy!
Aaron gives these two thumbs up!
Anyways, it is great to be on Spring Break and sleep in. I'm a big fan of my bed!!! And the weather has been beautiful this week - Chewie and Reuben were outside a lot yesterday, and I bet they will be today as well!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
