1 cup shortening (I try to use non-hydrogenated shortening
or at least 1/2 cup Nucoa (buttery sticks) + 1/2 cup shortening
or 1 cup Nucoa or 1 cup "I can't believe it's not butter" (not using
any shortening changes the final results a bit - so experiment and
decide which you like best
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar or 1 1/2 c. brown sugar (I prefer the last)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp hot water
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 c. oatmeal (I use old fashioned)
1-2 cups chocolate chips
1 c. chopped nuts (Pecans are my choice)
but nuts are optional
Cream shortening, sugar, eggs, vanilla & water together,
add flour, baking soda, salt and mix well.
Add oatmeal and mix well.
Add chocolate chips and nuts and mix well.
(your choice if you spray your cookie sheets with
pam - sometimes they stick a little and some times
they don't)
Bake 350 8-12 min....they spread some as they
are baking so leave a little space between spoonfuls.
I prefer them a little soft-crispy than crisper - but in my
oven takes about 10-11 minutes. (higher elevation
could be the reason). I let them sit for a minute on
the cookie sheet before removing.
Have fun.......They freeze well..
