An FHE to be Proud Of

We have been a working progress, but tonight we did it all. We started with prayer, song, lesson, activity, another song, prayer, and treat. Here are our attempts at pumpkin carving, and also the long awaited recipe for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

Aunt Teresa's Any Kind Cookies

Cream together:
2 c butter(or margarine)
2 c sugar
2 c brown sugar

Add and Mix:
4 eggs
2 t. vanilla

Add and Mix together:
4 c flour
5 c blended up oatmeal(put in blender til it turns to powder-measure before blending)
1 t. salt
2 t. baking powder
2 t. baking soda

Add chocolate chips, raisins, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, whatever you want! Roll golf ball size cookies and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for no more than 9 or 10 minutes-they should not look done if you want them to be chewy(this is the most important tip).

Also, this recipe makes a ton of cookies. I mixed up 1/4 of the recipe for tonight's FHE and it made over 2 dozen cookies. I love to add walnuts too. Also they freeze very well. But remember the rules, 1) you can't make them for any of my ward functions, 2)you always have to use real butter, and 3)you have to pack some in your husband's lunch for the next day.
