Sweet Butter Waffles, take 2

I have been told the waffle link wasn't working, probably because I am a dope and the recipe is in my "private" recipe box.

Here it is - hope you didn't end up with cereal for breakfast one morning when you were wanting waffles!

Enjoy!!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

We had gotten tired of our old oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe and wanted to try something new. I found this recipe on allrecipes.com (one of my favorite places to browse for recipes) and it has become our new family favorite. If you aren't a fan of chocolate use about half the chocolate chips. A super yummy cookie, crisp, but soft and not too sweet!

INGREDIENTS
1 cup shortening
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
In a large bowl cream shortening, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Add eggs and mix thoroughly.
Combine the baking soda, salt and flour and stir into creamed mixture
Add oatmeal and chocolate chips and stir until well blended.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.

They come out perfect every time. I use my small Pampered Chef cookie scooper, but if we want a giant cookie I use the large scooper.
