Tried and True-sday

When I make chocolate chip cookies my theory is that there should be just enough dough to hold the chips in form, no more. The real feature is the chips. Here's a little Christmas flavored deliciousness you will not regret making:

Chocolate Chip Cookie Christmas

cream together:

2 1/2 cups brown sugar

1 1/2 cup shortening

1 cup sugar

4 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla

stir together:

4 cups flour

1 cup oats

1 1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. soda

1 cup chopped nuts

1 1/2 pkg. milk chocolate chips

1/2 pkg. Andes mint chips

1/2 pkg. peppermint chips

Combine the two mixtures. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. (Don't over bake)

You'll love them. It makes a lot but they freeze really well for last minute desserts whenever you need them. Happy cooking!
