1.1 root 1: [Someone sent this in from California, and we decided to extend
2: our campaign against information hoarding to recipes as well
3: as software. (Recipes are the closest thing, not involving computers,
4: to software.)
5:
6: The story appears to be a myth, according to the Chicago Tribune,
7: which says that Mrs Fields Cookies hoards the information completely.
8: Therefore, this recipe can be thought of as a compatible replacement.
9: We have reports that the cookies it makes are pretty good.]
10:
11: Someone at PG&E called the Mrs. Fields Cookie office
12: and requested the recipe for her cookies. They asked
13: her for her charge card number, and she gave it to them
14: thinking the cost would be $15 to $25. It turned out
15: to be $200!
16:
17: Therefore, this person is giving the recipe to anyone
18: and everyone she knows (and doesn't know) so that
19: someone can get use of her $200. Anyway, just keep
20: passing it on.
21:
22: Cream together: 2 cups butter
23: 2 cups sugar
24: 2 cups brown sugar
25:
26: Add: 4 eggs
27: 2 tsp. vanilla
28:
29: Mis together in
30: separate bowl: 4 cups flour
31: 5 cups oatmeal (put small
32: amounts of oatmeal in blender until it turns to
33: powder. Measure out 5 cups of oatmeal and only
34: "powderize" that, NOT 5 cups "powderized" oatmeal)
35:
36: 1 tsp salt
37: 2 tsp baking powder
38: 2 tsp baking soda
39:
40: Mix: All of the above
41:
42: Add: 24 oz. bag of chocolate chips and
43: 1 finely grated 8 oz Hershey bar (plain)
44:
45: Add: 3 cups chopped nuts (any kind)
46:
47: Bake on greased cookie sheet (make golf ball sized balls) and
48: bake about two inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 - 10
49: minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Makes 112.

52: Subject: Re: free cookie foundation?
53:
54: Hi! I "stole" your very expensive cookie recipe off the net. If you
55: want to send me your SnailMail address, I'll be glad to send you a
56: dollar (I would like to suggest this to the net, but I think there is
57: some netiquette rule against asking for money - or is that only money
58: for oneself?) to help defray the cost (it's not much, but if EVERYone
59: who took the recipe sent you a dollar, it would help).
60:
61: Here also is another cookie recipe which I'm very fond of.
62:
63: Makes 6-8 dozen
64: Bake at 375 degrees for ~10 min.
65:
66: Cream together:
67:
68: 1 cup shortening (I use Weight Watcher's Reduced Calorie Margarine!)
69: 1/4 cup peanut butter (I recommend the non-sugared kind)
70: 1/2 cup sugar
71: 1/2 cup brown sugar
72: 2 eggs
73: 1 teaspoon vanilla
74:
75: Add:
76:
77: 1/2 cup flour
78: 1 teaspoon soda
79: 1/2 teaspoon salt
80: 2 cups rolled oats (I use the 5-min variety)
81: 1-2 cups chocolate chips (I use 2 cups semi-sweet - ummmm!)
82: 1 cup nuts (I use pecan pieces - don't get them crushed, or the extra
83: oil will make greasy cookies)
84: 1 cup shredded or flaked coconut
85:
86: (The nuts were listed as optional and I added the coconut myself, but
87: I really love them there! You could also add things like m&m's, or
88: raisons (I don't care for raisons in cookies, but you might). I've
89: always wanted to try banana chips.)
90:
91: Mix well. Drop by teaspoonfuls on greased cookie sheet (I use pam).
92: Bake at 375 degrees for approx. 10 min.
93:
94: My aunt found this recipe in an Amish book called something like
95: "Eating Well When The Whole World Is Starving," and although I thought
96: a cookie recipe was a bit odd for a book like that, they are about the
97: healthiest a cookie is ever likely to get.
98:
99: They are also very easy to make (no blending, sifting, rolling, etc.)
100: and extrememly delicious. I get rave reviews and recipe requests whenever
101: I make them.

105: Chocolate Chip Cookies - Glamorous, crunchy, rich with chocolate bits & nuts.

108: charming New England Toll House on the outskirts of Whitman, Massachusetts.

110: our series of radio talks on "Famous Foods From Famous Eating Places."

143: Personal comments :
144:
145: I find it tastes better with a mixture of shortening and butter, as they say.
146:
147: You don't need << all >> of that sugar, and it can be whatever color you want.
148:
149: The nuts are optional. Feel free to play with the recipe. I put oatmeal in it,
150: reducing flour accordingly, and sometimes cinnamon.
151:
152: I also find it useful to grease the cookie sheets.
153:
154: I think I'm going to go bake some now ...
