Oatmeal S'more Cookies

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

3 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup mini marshmallows

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in the oats, chocolate chips and marshmallows. Drop by teaspoonfuls on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown.

What I did differently from the recipe:

I ran out of chocolate chips so I used some chocolate chips and some white chocolate chips. Of course that didn't make any difference.

What I'll do differently next time:

Either cut it in half or even a quarter!!!

Verdict:

Thumbs up! Honestly, when they were first made I was not that impressed with them. Within a couple of hours of them coming out of the oven they were already yummier than at first. These were such an easy, straight-forward recipe. Would be great for church functions or parties especially. It makes a TON - I only used about half my dough and it probably made 3 dozen.
