What can you say about oatmeal cookies? Who ever had a bad oatmeal cookie, no one I know. Mary would have rather eaten oatmeal cookies for breakfast rather then a bowl of oatmeal ... unlike Charlie. Oatmeal and wheat toast with butter was Charlies daily staple.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups oats, uncooked
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
1. Beat together shortening, sugars, egg, water and vanilla until creamy. Add combined remaining ingredients; mix well.
2. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.
3. Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes.
4. For variety; add chopped nuts, raisins, chocolate chips or coconut.
