These PERFECT Chocolate Chip Cookies are loaded with oatmeal, butterscotch chips, and chocolate chips. YUMMY!

I love chocolate chip cookies.  I love them so much that I have to limit myself to making them only every couple of months, otherwise I would be as big as a house!

Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

In my quest for the perfect chocolate chip cookie, I have learned a few things.

1. Never melt your butter.  Unless you like chocolate chip cookie chips.
3. Measure your flour the way you were taught in home ec. in Jr. High – it’s really important.
4. Have your eggs at room temperature.  I don’t know why, but it just makes for a better cookie.
5.  If you can’t find the perfect recipe, the one that makes you think of the cookies your Mom made, then make your Mom’s cookies.

And with that, I give you my no-fail chocolate chip cookies.  These are the recipe my  Mom made when I was a girl and now I make them for my kids.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 C. brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 C. white sugar
  • 2 C. Shortening
  • 1 1/2 t. salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 1 1/2 T. baking soda
  • 4 C. Oatmeal blended
  • 3 C. flour
  • 1/2 package chocolate chips
  • 1/2 package butterscotch chips

Instructions 

  • Mix brown sugar, sugar, shortening and salt. Add baking soda dissolved in 2T hot water and remaining ingredients. Drop onto a cookie sheet with 1 oz. cookie scoop. Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes (until golden brown).

These make a lot of cookies, probably 6 dozen (I usually get 5 dozen, but that’s because I eat so much of the dough!).  So, if you don’t want to make that many at once, freeze half the dough.
