October- Cookies

Amber Hansen's "Should Be Famous" Chocolate Chip Cookies:

(copied and brought to the Recipe Exchange by Jenny Lynn)

Preheat oven to 375.

1 c. butter-flavored shortening (Crisco is best)
3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. water
2 eggs
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 pkg. milk chocolate chips

1. Cream the first five ingredients.
2. Add the eggs & mix for a good 3 minutes.
3. Add the flour, baking soda & salt. Mix until well-blended.
4. Fold in chocolate chips.
5. Bake for 8 minutes in the oven. The cookies will still look not totally done, but I think that's the key to having it soft & chewy because if you think about it, they're STILL cooking even on the hot cookie sheet after you take it out of the oven. Make sense?

No Bake Cookies (Marisa Rasmussen)

1 stick butter
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup chocolate chips or half a bag
3 ½ cups oats

-Put everything in a saucepan except the oats. Make sure it’s all melted, bring to a boil for a minute. Have the oats already measured out and in a bowl, then pour the melted mixture over the oats. Mix all of it good and if it looks soupy just add more oats to it. Then drop teaspoons onto wax paper and let cool. Enjoy!
