Alrighty, so I’m still behind on MSM’s 4 Weeks to Fill Your Freezer Challenge. My little one went to work with daddy today and I find myself alone on this lovely rainy Friday waiting for furniture delivery. Perfect time to get a little freezer cooking done. And rain and cookies make sense, right?
I hear this cookie recipe is delish so I was happy to make a batch. 
The recipe calls for shortening OR butter. Hmm, I rather think I’m in the mood for shortening…:)
It’s a simple recipe, too. I love that. Cream together the eggs, shortening, vanilla, sugars (I used raw and brown), vanilla, and peanut butter.
Then mix in oats, baking soda, salt, whole wheat flour (I used 1/2 cup of white in place of a bit of wheat), and good ol’ chocolate chips. Yum! Am I the only person who doesn’t use a whole 12 oz. bag of chocolate chips when a recipe calls for it? I prefer a bit less of the chips and a little more dough in my bites. Is that unheard of?
Roll the dough into balls and stick in the freezer for about 2 hours. Then store them in freezer bags in the freezer. Simply take out a few to bake when your heart desires.
Can’t wait to try a few (tonight of course!). I’ll let you know how we like them!
Update: Baked a few last night and they were yummy!
If you’d like the recipe, you can find it here.
We made these too. They are so good. I don’t think they will last very long in our freezer. I really thought that making these with all whole wheat would make them too heavy. But to be honest I really couldn’t tell much difference.
So good to hear, Shelly. I’ll be taste-testing in just a couple hours
I’m thinking if I love them (and it sounds like I will) I need to make another freezer batch. 
Yea, you made them! They are good, and Shelly is right…you can hardly tell that they are made with whole wheat.
Yea, finally! I can’t wait to bake some up tonight!
NIce balls!
Sass and crass–my girl!
Go make some balls!
so where is the recipe??
