This is a recipe that my mom is famous for! She said that she got the recipe from her mom (my grandma). I think it is the BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever tasted (and I have tasted a LOT of them!). Give it a try.
from Ruth Naylor
1 c butter flavored shortening
¾ c brown sugar
¾ c granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda dissolved in 1 tsp warm water
(I have no idea why this is done, but I always do it – my daughter just puts the baking soda into the flour and she says it works fine. I am just an obedient child I guess! If the recipe says to do it – I do it!)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 ¾ c flour
2 c quick oats
1 bag milk chocolate chips
½ c chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixer, cream sugars and shortening until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Add soda/water mixture, vanilla and salt and mix well. Next , mix in the flour. Stir the oatmeal, chocolate chips and nuts in by hand. Scoop cookie dough onto a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam and bake for 7-8 minutes. (These are best when they are not overcooked).
