These cookies are by far the most requested recipe during the holiday season. They are moist, chewy, and full of chocolate chips and nuts (if desired). This recipe has been handed down for many years, and will soon become part of your favorite cookie recipes. No Christmas party celebration is complete without this addition to the cookie tray. Try it, you will be utterly amazed!
Cream together:
1 cup margarine (2 sticks)
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
Add:
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat well.
In a separate bowl mix:
2 cups of flour
2 1/2 cups of Oatmeal (measure and then put into blender until it resembles a powder)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
Put dry ingredients into first bowl. Mix well. Add:
12 oz. bag of semi-sweet chips
1 cup nuts (if desired)
Preheat oven to 350. Roll cookies from large tablespoon. Place 2 inches apart and press lightly with fingers. Bake for about 10 min. If you place cookies on aluminum foil to cool, they will be chewier. Makes about 4 dozen cookies. Once cool, I freeze them in Ziploc bags so there are a few left for Christmas! I can never keep these long enough even in the freezer!
