This was a recipe I requested from Mrs. Williams almost 50 years ago after her husband brought them into work. It was and still remains the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had. My DDs (and now my DGDs) made this in their teens and now for their families. A real favorite that has become a family tradition. The batter is a bit stiff to mix, but worth the effort and then some. Ingredients:
1 cup shortening |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup brown sugar (packed) |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 large eggs |
2 tablespoons water |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 cups quick-cooking oats |
2 cups chocolate chips |
3/4 cup walnuts (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Cream sugar, shortening and vanilla; beat in eggs and water.
3. Sift dry ingredients.
4. Add to creamed mixture.
5. Add chocolate chips, oats and nuts.
6. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
