Sue's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Before I get to the cookies, I thought I'd let you know that the deer came along last night and had crocus salad for a midnight snack...Nary a crocus out there today except for some later ones popping out of the ground. Bah humbug to the deer...and I gave them a half bad squash recently, but they will be cut off from here on in! Bah! Bah!

Back to the cookies:

Sue's Chocolate Chip Cookies Bake at 350* 12 minutes

1 1/3 cup margarine

1 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tsps. vanilla

3 cups flour

1 tsp soda...mix the salt and soda into the first cup of flour

1 tsp salt

1 cup chopped nuts

1 cup more or less of chocolate chips

about 1 1/3 cup of old fashioned oatmeal ( not quick oats)

1 cup chopped nuts such as pecans, macadamias or walnuts.

Cream margarine and sugars together using your beaters. Add the eggs one at a time and keep beating, Add the vanilla, keep beating, then add the first cup of flour with the salt and soda mixed into it. Add the other two cups of flour, one at a time and keep beating. You'll have a thick dough...time to shake off the beaters and grab a wooden spoon to incorporate the rolled oats and chocolate chips and chopped nuts. mix it all up well so it is evenly distributed with chips and nuts.

Take up a big spoonful and pat into a small hambuger shaped patty and place on a Pammed cookie sheet or onto Parchement paper lined cookie sheets. I baked them on my baking stones and they still could have used a little Pam as they were a little sticky to lift.

Leave space between cookies and bake in preheated oven at 350* for 12 to 15 minutes depending on how hot your oven is.

Then just eat a whole bunch.

They freeze well too.

Okay.... I hope that sends everyone right into the kitchen to make a batch. They are very quick. Also they taste great with the addition of 2 tsp fine ground instant coffee and a half tsp of cinnamon for a Java cookie. Also, one could add Fry's cocoa to make a chocolate chocolate chip cookie. Yum.
