These are the comforting chocolate chip cookies I grew up with! My Grandmother made these all the time. I don't know where she got the recipe, it may even be a generic brand-sponsored recipe - all I know, is these are The Best Ever! Of course, these are always baked with lots of love in them! :) Also, these freeze very well should you need to prepare a batch ahead of time. Remove from freezer and defrost at room temperature on the counter. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sifted flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup crisco |
3/4 cup dark brown sugar |
3/4 cup sugar |
2 large eggs |
1 teaspoon hot water |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 cups quick oatmeal (quick quaker oats) |
1 cup walnuts, chopped |
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips |

1. Sift flour with soda and salt, set aside.
