I made herChocolate Oatmeal Cookies. They were fantastic. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup oats
1 cup coarsely chopped dark chocolate
(I used Ghiradelli chocolate)
1 cup chopped walnuts
(I omitted)
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. In my kitchen aid I creamed the shortening and the two sugars. I then added the eggs and vanilla. Next I put the oats in to mix and then added the dark chocolate.
I omitted the walnuts. I have way to many family members and friends who have nut allergies. I use a ice cream scoop to drop dough on a baking sheet. I spaced them 1 1/2 inches apart. I baked for about 12 minutes.
Try not to burn your fingers trying to eat these puppies while they are still hot.
