Because when I went to make cookies to share while scrapbooking tomorrow, I had all the ingredients with the exception of shortening.

For anyone who likes cookies, here’s a delicious recipe:

Chocolate Chip Cookies with Oatmeal

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 cup shortening
* 3/4 cup brown sugar
* 3/4 cup granulated sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
* 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
* 2 cups uncooked rolled oats
* 1 teaspoon vanilla

PREPARATION:
Sift flour with salt and soda.
Cream shortening and sugars; beat in eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy. Stir in sifted dry ingredients, chopped walnuts or pecans, rolled oats, and chocolate chips.
Drop chocolate chip cookie batter by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake chocolate chip cookies in a preheated 350° oven for about 10 to 12 minutes; cool on racks. Makes about 8 dozen chocolate chip cookies.

P.S. Just an FYI. It doesn’t make nearly 8 dozen cookies. It makes plenty to share, but they would have to be mighty small cookies to add up to 8 dozen.
