The Best Oatmeal Cookie Recipe
Ingredients:
3/4 cup shortening 1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup brown sugar 1 cup flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp. salt
1 egg 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup water 3 cups Oats
Beat shortening, sugars, egg, water and vanilla together until creamy. Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda and add the mix to the creamed mixture. Blend well.
Stir in the oats.
Drop by rounded teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.
For variety, you can add raisins, nuts, coconut or chocolate chips. I prefer chopped walnuts mixed in my homemade oatmeal cookies.
Makes 5 dozen.
