Chocolate Chip Cookies

[Ohio Mom]

This is a great recipe, I received this from a good friend of mine. She sold these at a bakery in our little Amish community.

4 sticks of oleo (don't use butter)
1 cup white sugar
2 cups brown sugar (packed)
4 eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
6 cups of flour
2 small bags of chocolate chips

Mix in order except chips. Add them last. You can also add 1 cup nuts. Drop 1 teaspoon on cookie sheet.

Bake 350 degrees for exactly 10 minutes

Makes 8 dozen

Yum!

This sounds fantastic! I usually use the recipe that comes on the back of the bag of chocolate chips.

Now may I ask a really stupid question????????

What is oleo?

[Ohio Mom]

No question is stupid, stick margarine. Do not use the whipped margarine in the tub.

Ohio Gma, I learned that the hard way! I tried making them with soft butter one time and they didn't come out right at all!

[DanielsMom]

What happens if you don't use butter? Anything that's not real butter grosses me out...

[Emma's#1fan]

That sounds very good.

what is oleo, is it a stick margarine?? Can I use a brand like Impereal sticks?

[Earthy]

Isn't oleo like Crisco Shortening Sticks? They come in a three pack plastic container, wrapped in foil, they are soft.

Some recipes that call for margarine sticks you can use Crisco instead.

[ABall]

Do you really use a t-spoon to drop dough by?? boy with a recipe that big I'd have to make them bigger or I'd be baking all day! It does sound good though.

[ABall]

Question answered, here is the response from TOH


It's margarine, as a matter fact, it's also called oleomargarine.

[Earthy]

What is Crisco then?

[ABall]

shortening, the sticks are just easier to measure.




*funny story*

Samantha got into a can of shortening when she was about 14 mo. old............ everywhere! it was a hard clean up too.
