A Cookie A Day - Day 4 - Old Fashioned Chocolate Chip
| By Agatha Curtis A Cookie A Day...Day 4 - Old Fashioned Chocolate Chip  Off and on, I like to cook. My favorites are old fashioned recipes (by today’s standards). I prefer to use real margarine (instead of fat free—don’t use real butter due to budget woes) and real eggs (instead of soy egg substitute), so I get a lot of my recipes from those cookbooks put together by the wonderful ladies and gentlemen raising monies for their churches and communities. These cookbooks can often be purchased at your local thrift stores and Goodwill for very little money, but you will get some of the best cooking you ever tasted from them. The recipes are the cream of the crop and usually taste-tested at church suppers, bake sales and family holiday get-togethers. Hope you enjoy this recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Mrs. Field’s Chocolate Chip Cookies (from Our Best Home Cooking, by the Ladies Auxiliary, Nelson Creek Volunteer Fire Department, recipe by Walteen Curtis) 2 c. butter 4 c. flour (self rising) 2 c. white sugar 5 c. oatmeal 2 c. brown sugar 3 c. nuts 4 eggs 24 oz. chocolate chips 2 Tbsp. vanilla Cream butter and sugars together; add eggs and vanilla.
