These yummy cookies are a family favorite:
the kids get to make and consume them at Grandma's house.
(She is an amazing cook!)
And then she gives us plenty of them to take home!! We are very lucky.... :)
for years and years and no longer remembers where she got it,
so we will just give her the credit for it, OK?
OK.
we will not make any claims that they are healthy.
Soooooooo.....
She actually makes them with coconut oil instead of shortening,
hoping that helps a little bit on the health scale....
I will add those instructions at the bottom.
Recipe Cowboy Cookies
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup shortening*
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups oatmeal
2 eggs
3/4 cups chocolate chips
Mix all the ingredients together (except chocolate chips) till creamy. Stir in chocolate chips. Shape into balls. Place on cookie sheet. Flatten slightly.
Bake 10 minutes at 350° Fahrenheit
* Instead of 1 cup shortening she will often use one of the following:
- 3/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup coconut oil and 1/2 cup oil
Enjoy...!! :)
