Cookies...

Ok so anyone who knows me knows that my cookies always turn out as chips(well not the ones I made up in Idaho, but I cheated and used Crisco, so that doesn't count)!! Flat crunchy chips!

I don't know why! It is SO dumb!! 

But on Tuesday I wanted to make Daddy some cookies so I did, and guess what.....

THEY WERE NOT CHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am very proud of these cookies:) heehee

Here is the recipe I used

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Favorite Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup Butter or margarine, softened

1 1/2 cups Sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

1 1/2 All-purpose flour **I just used freshly ground Soft White wheat**

1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 teaspoon Salt

3 cups Quick-Cooking Oats, uncooked

**I also added Chocolate-Covered Raisins**

Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg, and mix well; add water and vanilla, mixing well.

Combine flour, soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture, mixing well. Stir in oats and raisins, if desired.

Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. 

Cool slightly on cookie sheets; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Yield: about 8 dozen

She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens."
