Here is the much requested recipe for Lois's not yet famous Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Cream together:
2 cups butter (1 pound) 2 cups white sugar 2 cups brown sugarAdd:
4 eggs 2 tsp vanilla (the real stuff)Mix Together:
4 cups white all-purpose flour 5 cups oatmeal (which has been ground into flour in the blender or food processor) 1 tsp salt 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking sodaMix all of the above together and add:
24 oz chocolate chips (I use Ghirardelli semi-sweet)Optional additional ingredients (to your own taste) Cinnamon Cocoa powder
Bake on ungreased cookie sheets at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or at 350 degrees F in a convection oven (which I use) for 7 minutes. These cookies just barely cooked taste best, so cook a minimum amount of time. They'll be a bit soft when you move them from the cookie sheet to cool on a rack.
This recipe makes a lot of cookies. It's easy to make 1/2 as much.
These cookies have been judged as the best of their type, in a recent tasting by the much talked about Amish Siding Crew. Hope you enjoy them, when you do make them.
