Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is just a simple chocolate chip cookie recipe, but I had alot of requests for it at the Cub Scout Pack Meeting.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup butter flavored crisco
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
4 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
chocolate chips

Combine crisco, sugars, vanilla, and eggs, mix well. Add the rest of the ingredients until combined and then add chocolate chips. Bake at 350 for 11 min. I watch them closely when they are cooking and take them out when they will still be a bit soft in the middle, just barely turning golden brown. Enjoy!

Orange-Pecan Granola

1 cup old-fashioned oats
2 cups wheat flakes (Wheaties Cereal)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
Finely grated zest of 1 orange (I omit this and it's still great!)
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter (I use on 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup honey

Preheat oven to 350. Put oats, flakes, sugar, nuts, zest, nutmeg and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Melt butter with honey in a saucepan over low heat; stir into oat mixture. Spread mixture in a 8x11 in pan. Bake until just golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool in pan.
