INGREDIENTS:
170 g (3/4C) Margarine
170 g (3/4C) Crisco (Vegetable Shortening)
3/4 c Brown Sugar
1 1/2 C Caster Sugar
3 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla
Cream margarine & Crisco. Add sugars. Cream until light and fluffy. May take a few minutes. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
Add:
3 1/4 C Flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
Mix in dry ingredients until just combined.
Stir in:
3+ C Old Fashioned Oats
2 C Chocolate Chips
Mix until all combined. May need to do by hand if mixer isn't strong enough.
Put dough in refrigerator until chilled.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto baking pan. Can use a silpat or exopat to avoid sticking -- but don't grease pan.
Bake @ 190-200C (400F) for 3 minutes. Rotate pan and bake another 3 minutes or until just barely light golden on edges. Centers will still look soft. Let rest on pan for 3-4 minutes. Transfer to rack to finish cooling.
If you aren't going to eat all at once, its best to put remainder in freezer. Then bring out as you want to eat them or reheat in microwave for 10 seconds or so.
