The Best Cookies

Yesterday after church and lunch, we worked on ceiling fans and took the plastic off the window screens. I was putting longer pull chains on and really screwed one up. Bill was not happy about having to fix that! I cut the short chrome chain off to put a long pewter chain on. The little piece went inside the fan!

Got a call today that our kitchen countertop will be here Wed, or Thurs. No workers today, but hoping Greg & Bill are here tonight working on doors & trim.

Here are the cookies that Lacey & I made last week that she thought were sooooo good - Grandma's recipe:

JACKPOT DROPS

1/2 c. butter (best to use real butter) 1/2 c. is one stick
1/2 c. Crisco
1 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar, packed
2 1/4 c. flour  (**see below)
2 t. soda
2 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
2 eggs
2 t. vanilla
2 c. quick oats
2 c. choc. chips

Cream sugars, butter & Crisco well. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat thoroughly. Sift flour, soda, baking powder and salt together. Add to sugar mixture. Blend in oats and choc. chips. Bake on greased cookie sheet at 350 for 10-12 min.
** might need 1/4-1/2 c. more flour if you want a thicker cookie
