The oatmeal chocolate chip cookies recipe here, unlike many other cookie recipes which are manipulations of straight flour-based cookies, was made specifically for use with oats.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• ⅔ cup (150 g) shortening
• 1 cup (240 g) brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 ½ cups (350 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup (240 g) rolled oats
• ¼ cup (60 g) chocolate chips
• ¼ cup (60 g) walnuts

Procedure

1. In a large bowl beat eggs lightly to break the yolks, then mix in the shortening—you should have a loose mixture.
2. Mix in the brown sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt.
3. Mix the flour, baking powder, soda, cinnamon, and oatmeal together in another bowl.
4. Mix the wet and dry mixes together to get a soft dough.
5. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
6. Make balls and place onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in an oven prheated to 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes.

Notes, tips, and variations

• Experiment with more or fewer chocolate chips and walnuts—tastes may vary.
• Lightly coat the nuts and chips with flour before adding to the mixture.
