The Best Cookies (recipe sized for a KitchenAid mixer - fractionalize at will)
3 sticks real margarine 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 cup sugar 1 TBSP pure vanilla extract 3 eggs 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup oatmeal (whole flakes or pulverized) 3 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp baking soda 1 or 2 packages chocolate chips (12 oz. each) 2 cups chopped nuts (optional)
Cream margarine, brown sugar, sugar, vanilla until fluffy. Beat in eggs. Mix in whole wheat flour and oatmeal. Mix in 2 cups regular flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix in 1 more cup regular flour. Add chocolate chips, and chopped nuts (if desired). Chill (if you can wait that long). Form tablespoons of the stuff into compacted balls, bake 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes. Cool on rack (if you can wait that long). Dough stores well in fridge for up to 2 weeks; freezes well, too (if you can wait that long). This recipe is mine - mostly original - and has won many ribbons and contests. Enjoy!!!
