CHEWY TOLL HOUSE COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• In large mixing bowl add the sugar, eggs and shortening. Blend together.
• Slowly add the flour, salt and baking soda and mix well.
• Add the water, vanilla and chocolate chips and mix.
• Add oatmeal and mix until all ingredients are blended together.
• Using a spoon, drop dough onto cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cookies appear a golden brown. Repeat until all dough is used.
• The size of the spoon will determine the size of the cookie.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F; line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silpat.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
• In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream together the butter and the sugars on medium speed.
• Add the egg, followed by the applesauce and vanilla extract.
• Working by hand, stir in the flour mixture and the oats until just combined and no streaks of flour remain; stir in the chocolate chips.
• Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (approx 1 tbsp each) of the dough onto prepared baking sheets, flattening each cookie slightly (I forgot to do this).
• Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until cookies become light brown at the edges.
• Let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store in an airtight container so you don't eat them all in one sitting!
