Needed something to do this morning so I baked some of these. This was my Mother-In-Laws Oatmeal Raisin cookie recipe. I just modified it a little.

Leon's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
pinch salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbs. Kahlua (optional, but you'll ruin the cookies if you don't)
1 scant tsp. soda in 4 Tbs. milk (3 if you use the Kahlua)
2 cups oatmeal
1/2 pkg. chocolate chips

Beat the shortening and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well. Add half of the the flour and milk/kahlua/soda mixture. When that is mixed well add the other half. Mix in the oatmeal 1 cup at a time. Mix in the chips. The original recipe called for a full bag of chips but that seemed like too many for me. Your mileage may vary.

Bake 10 to 15 minutes in hot oven (375º F) Yummmy!


If you have a fairly easy cookie recipe you like. (and maybe a little different) Post it up.
