my favorite cookie

 

If you've been around my side of the family for long, you've probably had my mom's chocolate chip cookies. She actually got the recipe from a friend years ago, but they've been a family favorite ever since! The recipe makes a very large batch, so sometimes I cut it in half, or freeze half.

ingredients:

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 1/2 cups Crisco

2 teaspoons vanilla

3 eggs

3 cups instant oatmeal

1 bag chocolate chips

directions:

in medium bowl: sift together flour, baking soda & salt; set aside

in large bowl: cream together sugars & Crisco
add vanilla & eggs
slowly add flour mixture
stir in oatmeal & chocolate chips with a large spoon
roll into 1 inch dough balls & bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes
Enjoy!
