Unbeatable is Nestle's Toll House Chocolate Chip but another one of my next favorites:

OLD FASHIONED QUAKER OATS FAMOUS
OATMEAL COOKIES

3/4 c. shortening, soft
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 egg
1/4 c. water
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
3 c. oats, uncooked

Beat shortening, sugars, egg, water and vanilla together until creamy. Stir together flour, salt and soda; add to creamed mixture, blend well. Stir in oats. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets. Bake in preheated moderate oven (350 degrees) for 12 to 15 minutes.
(For variety, add chopped nutmeats, raisins, chocolate chips or coconut.) Makes 5 dozen.

None here likes raisins much so a good sub is dried cranberries but of course you can get creative

And use unsalted butter, unbleached flour and batter stays well in the frig for a few days, so a fresh batch can be cooked daily.

Sounds good and the no bake part also nutrition; I think I will save this one since I have a slight aversion to eggs at times. Never tried oatmeal with chocolate

[Bella]

thank you so much

Watch out! They are positively addictive! (as long as you're not allergic to peanuts or peanut butter!)

TO MAKE FILLING

While cookies are baking; melt 9 squares semisweet chocolate in double boiler. Remove from heat and beat in ½ cup butter. Add egg yolks and rum until smooth. Let stand until slightly thickened (about ½ hour), stirring occasionally. Spread 1 teaspoon filling on bottom of each macaroon. Refrigerate filling side up on pan until firm, about 1 hour.

[SonSeeker]

My favorite cookie recipe is anything the Girl Scouts are selling.


Ok,
I'll leave now and go back to the guy's threads even though this one sounded much better than
"Ok GUSY, Where are ya'?"

[caligal]

When the kids were still in school, I used to make the Quaker oats cookies every week and added golden raisins and chocolate chips. They never got tired of them.

It's okay Mike.. My mom always said that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach

anyways, I'd rather ENJOY food instead of going through the extremes of being a health nut. Oh the pain of enjoying food just so deliciously terrible

but honestly, I see it like this, I've always been in good shape "until" I hit 40 and then I just look at things and start to gain weight. So I think to myself, I'm getting too old to impress anyone so now I can enjoy food. Keep in mind though this body is the Lord's so I keep myself in check

[LivnForChrist]

Hmmm I'm gonna have to try some of these recipes.

I used Karen's no-bake cookie recipe last night and they turned out great!
I am doing a lot of cooking and baking now that the temps have cooled off. I always look forward to this time of the year.
