"These were by far the favorite cookie in our house growing up. Although the recipe calls for shortening, we often substituted margarine instead. Always tripled the recipe as well, they just go that fast."

Wow, these cookies SPREAD! Since the instructions did not say how large the amount should be when "dropping onto greased cookie sheet" I opted for heaping tablespoons seeing that the dough should make about 12 cookies. The dough was not dry enough to be able to roll the cookies by hand. Even though I used heaping tablespoons I still got 16 very large cookies. Next time I will use a little less dough for each cookie. I used margarine instead of shortening, otherwise made as stated. The cookies baked in 13 minutes. They are crispy and yet chewy and very, very tasty. Doubling or tripling the recipe is a good idea! One of the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, will certainly make again. Thanks for posting. -
