Another Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie

½ cup old fashion oats
2¼ cups flour
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup butter flavored Crisco
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup Reese’s pieces
½ cup chopped walnuts


Preheat oven to 375º. Move rack to second highest level in oven (this is the trick to baking a perfect cookie… my sister taught me this).

In medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt and baking soda; set aside. In large bowl, combine Crisco, brown sugar, white sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Gradually add flour and mix well. Fold in chocolate chips, Reese’s pieces and walnuts.

Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.

You can also spread this mixture into a greased jelly roll pan and bake at 375º for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned and then cool and cut into bars.
