Aunt Nettie is back with her recipe of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. It was written in a small 3″ x 6″ notebook. When she travelled during school break she always carried one of these notebooks to journal the trip. It was a pleasure to find some of her recipes tucked away in this notebook. This new picture of her is with one of her china dolls dressed in the same dress as her. She made all her own clothing.
Cream well butter and brown sugar. Beat in 1 egg, orange rind, vanilla, all purpose flour, rolled oats and salt. Fold in Chocolate Chips.
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Drop batter from teaspoon onto lightly greased and floured cookie sheets. Bake in moderate oven at 375 degrees for 15 – 20 minutes.
