Cookie Time!!!!

So yesterday Adam and I made cookies!! I have been craving them and now that Gabe is a little more tolerant of the things I eat, i.e. chocolate, we made them.

I love that picture!!

Actually I couldn't get him to help me but we will pretend.

So these are the best cookies ever!! I got the recipe from Kyle's Mom. I'm not sure where she got it from... and I hope that it's o.k. that I share because these are to good not to share!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2 cups shortening
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
Cream together
2 tsp baking soda(dissolved in 2 tbsp water)
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp salt
4 cups flour
3 cups old fashioned oats
12 oz chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups nuts (optional, for you nut lovers out there. I prefer no nuts)
Bake for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown (I end up baking for around 12 or 13 minutes but I do rather large cookies)
Make sure you don't over bake them like I have done before..
they are much better a little on the gooey side!!

Yummmmmm........
