My Favorite Cookie
This recipe is a family favorite and I whipped up a few batches for the holidays … because cookies make everything better! What makes this my favorite? I think it’s the special blend of chocolate, oatmeal, pecans and two sugars that do not disappoint the tastebuds.
Foodie Tips:
❤ At an early age I quickly learned that here in Texas that “nuts” is an abbreviation for “Texas Pecans.”
❤ If you like chewy cookies like I do make sure and don’t bake these too long!
Ingredients:
1 Cup | Crisco
1 Teaspoon | Vanilla
1 Cup | Sugar
½ Cup | Brown Sugar (firmly packed)
2 | Cage Free Eggs
1 Teaspoon | Baking Soda
3 Teaspoons | Baking Powder
1 ¾ Cups | Flour
1 Cup | Oatmeal
1 Cup | Nuts (a.k.a. Texas Pecans)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. That was easy!
2. Combine shortening, vanilla and sugars and cream well. Add well-beaten eggs and blend thoroughly.
3. Sift soda and baking powder with flour and add to the creamed mixture.
4. Add oatmeal and nuts and blend.
