These are one of Martin Family's favorite cookies. They are perfect after school snack with a glass of milk. I have to double the recipe or they are gone before the last pan comes out of the oven.
2 Beaten Eggs
1 Tbl. Hot Water
1/2 Cup Canola Oil
1/2 Cup Shortening (I use butter flavor)
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
3/4 Cup Sugar
1Tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1 Tsp. Vanila
2 Cups Oatmeal
11/2 Cup Flour
2-3 Cups Chocolate Chips (I use semi-sweet)
1Cup Chopped Walnuts (optional)
Cream together the first 6 ingredients until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients in order given. Refrigerate until chilled. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and form cookie dough into 11/2 inch balls (larger if you desire a larger cookie) and place 12 evenly spaced on baking sheet.
Bake at *350 for 10-12 minutes. If you use two racks switch pans at 6 minutes. Enjoy...!
