I made cookies yesterday for the first time in I don't know how long. Just needed something sweet and since they were oatmeal - they are healthy right? Turned out pretty good and of course the guys gobbled them up. Did manage to get some in the cookie jar though.
So thought I would share the recipe.
Oatmeal Crispies
Cream together:
1 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
Add and beat well:
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Sift together and then mix with sugar mixture:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Stir in:
3 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Form dough into long roll on covered cookie sheet with waxed paper. Chill thoroughly and slice into 1/4 inch thick slices. (I tend to slice mine about 1/2 inch) Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 10 minutes (a little longer for thicker cookies) in a 350 degree oven.
Well, Jake is having a friend over this afternoon, so better finish up my house chores. Then it is back to working on some projects for work.
Oh and my nephew Travis - turned 21 years old yesterday!!! Happy birthday, Travs. Wow - 21! Today I think he is celebrating by going to the new Batman movie, if he didn't go to the midnight show already. Huge Batman fan. Anyway, I am very proud of the man you have become - happy birthday.
So til next time...
