With the change of season last week, I felt the need to start baking. There is something about baking and making the house smell good that make it feel like Autumn is here {even though the cooler weather hasn't quite made it to our part of the woods}.
This is a favorite cookie recipe of mine from this fun baking blog. These are an immediate hit whenever I bake them. Beware, they won't stick around long!
To make the cookies you will need:
1 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar*
1 1/2 cups whole oats*
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips*
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In medium bowl sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and all spice. In separate large bowl, cream together shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Combine well.
Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Then add oats, cranberries, and chocolate if you so desire.
Use 1/4 cup and scoop onto cookie sheet... you should get about 6 per sheet.
Bake for at least 8 minutes, but most likely will bake for 12 depending on your stove.
If you chose to not add the chocolate chips directly to the dough, you can melt chips in the microwave and drizzle or dip the cookies after they have cooled.
Wait! The fun isn't over yet! You can make this cookie one of 3 ways!
1. Put the semi-sweet chocolate chips right into the batter.
2. Dip the cookies in melted semi-sweet chocolate chips.
2. Drizzle the cookies with melted semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Enjoy whatever way you choose to make your cookie delectable! My girl loves to make them with me.
