This is a Great Aunt's recipe from our Family Recipe Cookbook. I'm not sure how many cookies it makes or the prep time(probably varies depending on ingredients you include).
Ingredients:
1 cup shortening
2 cups brown sugar (or 1 cup white, 1 cup brown)
2 eggs
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups flour (or 2 cups flour, 2 cups quick oats)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup nuts
Directions:
1. Hopefully the Cream Together, Stir in, and Sift and Add directions above will make sense to everyone.
2. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
3. Any one of the following could also be added: 1/2 cup chopped dates; 1 cup chocolate chips, 1 cup coconut.
