Chocolate Chip Cookies (Hearty)
Cream together:
1 pound of butter
4 cups brown sugar {dark or dark/light mixed}
Beat in:
5 eggs {6 if the're smaller}
3 or more TBSP *real* vanilla {don't use fake stuff!}
Sift together:
4 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt {or a little more}
2 tsp baking soda
a little nutmeg if you like it
And add to the butter sugar egg mixture. This will be a very stiff batter.
Add:
4 cups rolled oats
4 cups Wheaties cereal {or wheat-based equivalent *not* cornflakes!}
2 pkg chocolate chips {semi-sweet or milk choc. or mix...}
Nuts if you like them {1 1/2 cups walnuts or pecans} Mix thoroughly.
Use about 2 TBSP batter per cookie, 12 to a std. sized sheet. Bake 8 - 12 min {or a little longer if necessary} at 350 deg F. Makes a
bunch but they never seem to last...
8 dozen of these lasted about 20 minutes at a JP Aerospace work session!
Good luck
