  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

  4. If you don't have a sifter, put all these ingredients into a bowl and slice through it with a knife several times and in all directions.
  5. Cream together shortening and sugars until light and fluffy.
  6. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
  7. Blend in vanilla.
  8. Gradually add dry ingredients to creamed mixture.

  10. If you want to add walnuts, stir them into mixture along with the oats.
  11. I usually use about 2 cups of nuts (I'm a nut FREAK).
  12. Shape into balls (I use a small melon ball scoop) and place on a greased cooking sheet.
  13. Bake 10 to 12 minutes.
  14. Makes about 4 dozen depending on the size cookie you make.
