Mise en Place: Oatmeal Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies
Someone was whining for cookies, so I made a batch of these.
- 1/2 C sugar
- 1/2 C brown sugar
- 1 C shortening
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 C molasses
- 2 C flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 C rolled oats
- 1 C raisins or dried cherries
- 1 C chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375°. Cream first three ingredients together, add eggs and beat until fluffy. Blend in salt, cinnamon, vanilla and molasses. On low speed, add flour, baking soda & oats, 1/2 C at a time. Mix in raisins/cherries and chips on lowest speed only until blended. Drop by spoonfuls onto baking sheets lined with parchment. Bake 10 – 12 minutes. Makes about 6 dozen.
