Chocolate Chip Cookies

June

1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 c. oleo, softened
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar, lightly packed
2 eggs
1 1/2 t. vanilla
1 1/2 c. crisp rice cereal
1 6oz. pkg. semi sweet chocolate chips

Mix together flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream oleo and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Add to flour mixture. Stir in cereal and chips, blending well. Drop onto a greased cookie sheet, bake 10 minutes at 350*. Makes 3 to 4 dozen.


Cookies are best baked on a shiny cookie sheet with low or no sides. Do not grease unless directed, using oil or shortening or a spray. Never use oleo as it will burn.

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction...

An excerpt from my diary June 17. 1992 Thursday

 We've had some hot and sunny days that go quickly. Sunday we went to the Sonic Drive-in and Devin got her first corn dog and you ate almost the whole thing. Boris Yletstein is in town, he's the President of Russia and delivered some peace talks. You are watching Sesame Street and drinking orange juice. Virginia B, is coming today from Southeast Clinic for a check up.
 I put water in the kiddee pool and everyday you are walking better. Our house if full of sand fleas so the bug man is also coming today. We found Trai a musical teddy bear at a yard sale today. Love ya.
