How to Make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Peanut Cookies
- 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- 2In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars till light and fluffy (around 7 minutes)
- 3Add eggs, vanilla extract and water. Beat well
- 4Combine flour, soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture and mix well (about 2 minutes)
- 5Add oats and mix well
- 6Stir in chocolate chips and peanuts (you can chop them if you like)
- 7Drop by rounded teaspoons onto parchment lined cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each (I usually get a dozen on a standard sized sheet). Flatten with a dampened fork.
- 8Bake @ 350 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes, rotating the pan @ the 8 minute mark, or till golden brown.
