As long as I'm airing my secret family recipes... here is another. Once
again, the original source is long forgotten.


3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 baking soda
1/2 cup soft shortening (you really have to use a margarine for this. I've
never tried substituting oil in this recipe. I use Soy Garden marg)
6 tbls packed brown sugar
6 tbls "white" sugar ( I use raw sugar now)
Ener-G egg replacer equivalent to one egg
1/4 tsp hot water ( very necessary that it is Hot water)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
6 oz chocolate chips
1 cup oats
1/2 tsp vanilla

Heat oven to 375
sift flour salt and baking soda. Cream sugar egg and shortening until light
and fluffy. Blend in flour mix and other ingredients. Drop spoonfuls of
dough on ungreased cookie sheet bake 10- 12 min.
