Oatmeal Chocolate Chunkers

Kariann - this one's for you baby! :) We made cookies today while the kiddos played.

After one failed attempt...and a few modifications, here's a good oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe...FYI, it's better with nuts!

1/2 c. shortening

1/2 c. margarine, softened

3/4 c. brown sugar

3/4 c. sugar

add:

2 eggs

2 and 3/4 cups flour

2.5 cups oatmeal

then add:

1 tsp. baking soda, dissolved in 1 tsp. hot water

1/2 tsp. baking powder

then add:

1 tsp. vanilla
small bag of milk chocolate chunks

3/4 c, chopped walnuts

Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.
