The oatmeal chocolate chip cookies recipe here, unlike many other cookie recipes which are manipulations of straight flour-based cookies, was made specifically for use with oats.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup (240 g) rolled oats
• ¼ cup (60 g) chocolate chips
• ¼ cup (60 g) walnuts

Steps

1. In a large bowl beat eggs lightly to break the yolks, then mix in the shortening—you should have a loose mixture.
2. Mix in the brown sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt.
3. Mix the flour, baking powder, soda, cinnamon, and oatmeal together in another bowl.
4. Mix the wet and dry mixes together to get a soft dough.
