Anne's Chocolate Chip Cookies (Hearty)

Anne's Chocolate Chip Cookies (Hearty)

Cream together:
1 lb. of butter
4 cups brown sugar {dark or dark/light mixed}

Beat in:
5 eggs {6 if they're smaller}
3 or more tbsp *real* vanilla {don't use fake stuff!}

Sift together:
4 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt {or a little more}
2 tsp baking soda
a little nutmeg if you like it

And add to the butter sugar egg mixture. This will be a very stiff batter.

Add:
4 cups rolled oats
4 cups Wheaties cereal {or wheat-based equivalent *not* cornflakes!}
2 pkg chocolate chips {semi-sweet or milk choc. or mix...}
Nuts if you like them {1-1/2 cups walnuts or pecans}

Mix thoroughly.

Use about 2 tbsp batter per cookie, 12 to a standard-sized sheet. Bake 8 - 12 min {or a little longer if necessary} at 350°F. Makes a bunch but they never seem to last...

8 dozen of these lasted about 20 minutes at a JP Aerospace work session!

Good luck
