I think it's the addition of the vanilla pudding mix that makes these so good! Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening (crisco is best) |
1/2 cup butter (no subsitutions please) |
3/4 cup firmly-packed brown sugar |
3/4 cup white sugar |
2 large eggs |
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix |
1 tablespoon vanilla |
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans or 1 1/2 cups walnuts |
1 cup quick-cooking oats (uncooked) |
Directions:
1. Set oven to 375 degrees.
2. Lightly grease baking sheets.
3. In a bowl, beat shortening and butter at medium speed with an electric mixer, until creamy; gradually beat in sugars, beating well.
4. Add in the 2 eggs; beat until blended, then mix in the pudding mix and vanilla.
5. In another bowl, combine the flour, and the next 4 ingredients.
6. Gradually add to the butter/egg mixture, beating until blended.
7. Stir in the chocolate chips, nuts and oats.
8. Shape the dough into 1-1/2-inch balls.
9. Place on a cookie sheet, leaving enough space between the balls.
10. Press the balls to 1-inch thickness (the bottom of a glass works well for this).
11. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
12. Remove cookies to wire racks.
