These are my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies!

It sounds a little strange,

but they have just the right amount of salt in them.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

In a large bowl,

cream together with a hand mixer:

1 cup shortening

blend together with a wire whisk:

1-1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

Blend dry mixture into creamed mixture a little at a time.

By hand, mix in:

Bake at 350 degrees for 9 minutes.

Also, I leave for an extra long camping trip with a bunch of friends tomorrow. So I ventured to make Honey Bran Muffins from my Honey Recipe Book. Hope they're delicioius!
