Thorley's Oatmeal Cookies
Thorley's Oatmeal Cookies:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
ingredients:
1 Cup sugar
1 Cup brown sugar
1 Cup Crisco
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs unbeaten
1 1/4 Cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 Cup Quaker Oats
1 small package chocolate chips
Mix first 5 ingredients thoroughly. Add salt, baking soda and flour and mix well. Fold in oats and chocolate chips. Drop by full tablespoons on baking sheets. bake for 8-10 minutes. They will not look completely done in the center but don't over bake. Remove from oven and let cool for 3 minutes before removing them from the sheet.
In 1970, as a college student, I called my future mother-in-law and asked her for my boyfriend, her son's, favorite cookie recipe to bake for Valentine's day. This is it. Thorley is now 86 and as sharp as ever. The cookies have been a favorite for my sons and now a new generation.
They are the best and so is Thorley! I don't have a current picture but she is beautiful and if I win I will get a great one for you! She is no longer technically my mother-in-law but we are still close and she is a SUPER Grandma to my sons and grand daughter!
