Ingredients:





   1/2 c  Shortening


   1/2 c  Butter Or Margarine;


          -Softened


   3/4 c  Brown Sugar


   3/4 c  White Sugar


     2    Eggs


     1 ts Baking Soda


     1 ts Salt


     1 ts Vanilla


     1 tb Kahlua Or Chocolate Liquer


     2 c  All-Purpose Flour


     2 c  Rolled Oats


     2 c  Semisweet Chocolate Chips;


          -*See Note


     1 c  Chopped Walnuts Or Pecans;


          -Optional






 1. Preheat oven to 375 ?. Grease cookie sheets.


 


 2. Cream together shortening, butter, sugars and eggs.


 


 3. Add the rest of the ingredients (in order) and mix well.


 


 4. Spoon a tablespoonful amount into hand, shape into a ball and place on


 greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Cool on rack


 a few minutes before eating.


 


 *Note- I add less chips because I don't like a lot of chocolate chips. The


 cookie dough tastes so good you don't need a lot of chips.


 


 I always use butter because I think it makes a better cookie. I also use


 butter flavor crisco instead of plain shortening. (These are comfort food


 remember..no low fat lol). Sometimes if the dough feels a little sticky I


 add extra flour (not too much) until it's easier to roll in your hands. I


 bake them on the reverse side of the cookie sheets and it works very well


 to make a nice chewy cookie. Don't let them overcook, as soon as the edges


 start to look brown, even if the center isn't set, they will be fine once


 they are cooled. Leave them on the cookie sheet for a minute or two and


 then cool completely on wire racks. When I picked up this recipe the author


 had written that these cookies stay soft for a long time. I don't know how


 she ever figured that out because they have never lasted longer than two


 days around here! Everyone who tastes them wants the recipe!
