The Most Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies EVER!

Michael made these last night, and they were pretty incredible, so I thought I would share the recipe.

• 1 cup shortening
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 T. molasses
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 2 cups quick cooking oats
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 cups chocolate chips

*In a mixer, cream the shortening and the sugar until well combined. Make sure there is no sugar unmixed.
*Add the molasses (or syrup in our case), eggs, and vanilla. Stir well until the batter is dark in color.
*Add the flour, quick cooking oats, and cinnamon. Stir well. Add the chocolate chips slowly and stir. Do not overmix the batter at this point.
*Preheat your oven to 350*. Drop cookie batter by tablespoonfuls on a cookie baking sheet (we use a melon baller-it's the perfect amount). Bake cookies for 10 minutes.
*Remove cookies onto cooling racks. At this point, the cookies WILL be soft and mushy. This does NOT mean that they need to bake longer. The cookies will harden on the racks.

I have no pictures because we ate them all, but if you were at our Church lunch today then you had them. Put it this way, we took a large tray full of them, and went home with zero! They are that good!
