Chocolate Drizzled Oatmeal Cookies
Prepare and bake cookies as directed above. Melt 1/2 cup real semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon shortening. Drizzle mixture over cooled cookies.
Tip #1
Stir in 1 cup of one of the following ingredients: mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, raisins, chopped mixed dried fruit, sweetened flaked coconut or chopped pecans. Bake as directed above.
Tip #2
This dough is best when baked the day it is made. If dough is stored in the refrigerator, the oats absorb liquid which causes the cookies to be dry.
Tip #3
Be sure to use quick-cooking oats for this recipe, not old-fashioned oats. They are not interchangeable in this recipe and will yield different results.
