Lori Bullock's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Lori's (Best Ever) Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients:

• 2/3 cups shortening
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 1/4 cup flour
• 6 ounces chocolate chip cookies

Directions:

• Mix all ingredients.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes (In Idaho and Utah I baked for 10, but here in West Virginia I do 8 1/2 minutes or they are too dark.
• You just want them BARELY golden brown. If left in too long they are crunchy.)

Hints: Mix ingredients in order. Don't over mix. Stir between each ingredient. I usually double the recipe. You know, so there are enough for you AND to share with someone else!

Rolo Cookies

These are the easiest cookies to make, and they are delicious, especially when just out of the oven!

Ingredients:

-Rolos (at least 20, unwrapped)

-2 eggs

-1 box Betty Crocker devil's food cake mix

-1/3 cup vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix eggs, cake mix, and oil together in large bowl. When rolling the dough into balls, put a rolo in the center of each dough ball (make sure it's all covered with dough so when it melts it doesn't get goo all over!). Cook 8-9 minutes (don't need to grease the pan). Makes about 20 cookies.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

This is yet another recipe from the talented Jonna, who's website is www.justgetoffyourbuttandbake.com. Truly, these are probably my favorite cookies of ALL time now! And Dallin says they're his favorite too. I like to call them "loaded cookies," because they are chock-full of everything that makes a cookie good: oatmeal, peanut butter, gooey warm chocolate chips... just go make them right now! 

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
 3/4 cup brown sugar
 3/4 cup white sugar
 3/4 cup peanut butter
 1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
 1 teaspoon baking soda
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 1 cup rolled oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

 Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, white sugar and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the peanut butter mixture. Finally, mix in the oats and chocolate chips. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

3. Bake for 8 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are golden. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks. Notes: I baked these cookies and followed the recipe exactly. (about 9 minutes baking time) They don’t spread very much so you can fit quite a few on one baking sheet. These cookies also come out of the oven very soft, so be sure to let them cool on the sheet for several minutes before attempting to remove or they’ll just crumble and fall apart. So good!
