2 Tsp. baking powder
2 Tsp. baking soda
4 cups flour

shortening, and sugars.

3. Sift in the baking
powder, baking soda, and flour.
4. Add the pecans, coconut,
oatmeal, raisins, chocolate chips, and corn flakes.
5. Roll dough into balls
1 1/2" diameter.
6. Bake at 360 degrees
about 15 minutes.
When cool, cookies should
be chewy, not brittle. (Brittle cookies mean you baked them too long)
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
1 C. margarine
1 C. granulated sugar
1 C. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 C. flour
2 1/2 C. ground oatmeal (grind oatmeal into a powder in blender)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
12 oz. chocolate chips
1 1/2 C. chopped nuts (optional)
2. Add eggs and vanilla.
3. Add ground oatmeal, flour salt, baking powder and baking soda. Blend well.
4. Add chocolate chips and nuts (if using). Roll heaping teaspoon dough into a ball.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies
(or until lightly browned). Cool a couple minutes and remove cookies to a cooling
rack or flat surface. (If you don't remove cookies from cookie sheet after a couple
minutes, they may stick.)
*Makes 3-5 dozen depending on the size of the cookies. You can make a few at a time,
and refrigerate the rest of the dough in an airtight container for up to several days.
If you are baking them all at once, after cooling, I place them in a zip lock bag and
refrigerate. If you prefer that "just out of the oven" taste, heat your cookie in a
microwave for 5-10 seconds.
