These are our absolute favorite oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. They came from our Mankato ward cookbook.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
by Rosemary Madsen
1½ cups shortening (Crisco)
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup water
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
6½ cups quick oats
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips -12 oz bag (They're also good with milk chocolate)
Beat shortening, sugars, egg, water and vanilla together until creamy. Add flour, salt and soda. Blend well. Stir in oats and chocolate chips. Form into balls, flatten a little, and place on slightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 350ยบ oven for about 10 minutes or until they just barely begin to brown – don’t overbake!!! These cookies freeze really well. Just take a few out of the freezer and microwave for about three or four seconds and they taste “hot out of the oven” fresh. Yummy!
