I found this on in the context of wooing your guy with food. I was hesitant to use shortening but they taste great. This recipe reflects a different size and cooking time from the original and creates a cookie very much like a Mrs. Field's in looks and taste, tell me what you think.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter flavor shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
2 cups old fashioned oats
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°.
2. Mix flour, soda and salt; set aside.
3. Beat shortening, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until creamy.
4. Add the eggs and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
5. Gradually beat in flour mixture and rolled oats.
6. Stir in chocolate chips.
7. Drop batter by large tablespoon or small ice-cream scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheet, you should have room for 6 on an average baking sheet, don't crowd, they will spread out.
8. Bake for 16 minutes or until golden brown, don't overbake.
9. Remove to cooling rack and cool until firm.
