Oldies but Goodies~

This keeper recipe is Circa early 80's..I typed it out to save in 96..but I got this recipe..somewhere..early 80's~

It is one of my favorite cookies apart from shortbreads..and my daughter's Smores..

We all have fave choco chip cookie recipes..I have a stack..seems like when you are at someone's home throughout your life.. and there are fresh chocolate chip cookies ..you have one..and you need the recipe..

and the Neiman Marcus ones..etc..I have oodles of them and keep most..but this one is different.

The cookies can be made flatter with less flour.

The recipe makes enough to give away:)

I made 3 containers to give away..a bit flatter and added a bit more flour for ours..not much..but because I like them a bit drier and higher (not crisp..not hard..) just more oatmealy it seems this way..

In my recipe file they are called Great Cookies ♥ ..not very original but they are:)

La Recette~

1 cup of butter or margarine (we never have margarine)

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

Cream together then add:

1 1/2 tsp baking soda and a pinch of cream of tartar in a 1/2 cup of water and add to the above..

Then add:

1 1/2 cup of flour

2 1/2 cups of rolled oats

1 cup raisins

1 cup choco chips..(milk or semi-sweet)

You have pre heated your oven to 350 degrees

And prepped your cookie sheet with a silpat or parchment.

Form dough into balls.

Flatten lightly w/ fork.

Bake ap 10-12 mins.

Try them..Bet you can't eat just one..:)

If they flatten while baking..add a bit of flour before baking the next batch~

I don't drink enough milk..so I am trying to add some by having a café au lait..mid morning.:)

It's either closing my eyes and drinking half a glass fast  ..of milk..or softening it with a touch of coffee..

I think I have had 2 cups of coffee this summer.

It was just not a coffee type of summer~

PS..The apron is an easy do thanks to the Graphic's Fairy~  You can find the download here to print..

This is actually an artist's apron..but I brought the apron upstairs and just added spoons:)

It could be a cook's apron..or a gardening apron..

But this one was actually made to paint with..alone:)

You will need a printer for this project and Iron-On transfers..

I always cringe since I have messed so many up in the past..but this one worked very well~

September 1rst..Can we believe it? 

"Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain so yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a young and a callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh."
