This is the very best chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe ever!! You must use Crisco shortening. I have tried generic shortening or butter before and they just don't taste the same or cook up right.
I was so craving chocolate today and realized I had no chocolate chips. I went into desperation mode so I found a bar of semi sweet baking chocolate. I tried blending the chunks of chocolate, but it turned it into fine powder. In my desperation to have chocolate I decided to take a rolling pin to it. I placed them in a plastic bag and pounded out the days frustration. It felt good. Real good! That is what I call killing two birds with one stone. The cookies were good, I was good. Win win I tell ya:)
1 1/2 cup flour (I used spelt today. I have also used quinoa flour, whole wheat, and of coarse white)
Take 2 TBS of flour out of your 1/2 cup of flour. I don't know why- just do it trust me.
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
1 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 Tbs. vanilla- you pour this right onto the brown sugar before you mix it.
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups quick oats
1 1/2 cups regular oats
(I usually just use quick oats for both)
1 cup chocolate chips
Mix shorting, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and eggs together until smooth. Add salt soda- mix well. Add flour- mix well again. Add remaining ingredients.
Cook at 350 for 8-9 minutes.
