I'm so far behind already, that I am now in the "Oh, another day won't make much difference . . . " mode! But I do hope to do some baking soon, and the cookies I'm about to share the recipe with you are so delicious - truly addictive - and extremely easy to make! And there's very little sugar in them, which is always a good thing.
I found this recipe in the "Eaglefest" cookbook, compiled by Linka R. Bowen in 1987. At the time she was a junior at Georgia Southern College, and many of the recipes were submitted by alumni. I actually got the cookbook at a yard sale a few years ago for 25 cents! On the bottom left hand corner the original price tag of $10.95 is still there, and a yard sale ticket at top right hand corner of 50 cents. I got there late in the day, and everything was 1/2 price -yay!
If you see the oatmeal in the recipe, and don't particularly care for oatmeal cookies (like me) - take heart! The oatmeal is a really nutty addition, and this cookie bar bears no resemblance to an oatmeal cookie.
Here's the recipe >>>
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter - softened
- 6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 Tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon water
- 1 cup quick cooking oatmeal
- 6 ounces (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¾ to 1 cup finely chopped nuts (my addition, and I use either pecans or walnuts)
Sift together flour, soda and salt.
Blend together with butter, sugar, vanilla and water. Stir in oatmeal, chocolate chips and nuts.
Spread in greased 13 x 9 inch pan.
Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly, then slice into bars of desired size.

That's it! A very easy cookie recipe, with not much sugar, good amounts of fiber, and a great, addictive taste! I hope you try them, and if you do, please let me know how you liked them! Blessings, y'all! Becky
