Eric's Cookies

Cream:
1/2 C shortening
1/2 C butter (softened)
1 C brown sugar
1 C white sugar

Add and cream in:
2 eggs

Add and mix:
2 C flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp maple flavoring
2 C rolled oats

Stir in:
1/2 - 3/4 bag chocolate chips
1/2 bag of toffee bits (optional but delicious!)

Roll into walnut sized balls (I use a cookie dough scoop) and place on cookie sheet. Cook at 350 for 6 - 8 minutes

I "under" cook mine so they stay soft. Usually about 6 1/2 minutes and then take them directly off the cookie sheet and transfer them to a paper towel to keep them moist while they cool :)These are our favorite cookies! VERY yummy!
