OATMEAL COOKIES
Ingredients
1 cup shortening 1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs, well beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 3 cups quick oats ½ cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instruction
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the well-beaten eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture, stirring to combine. Add Oats and Walnuts: Stir in the quick oats and walnuts (if using), mixing well to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Shape the Dough: Shape into rolls, wrap them in wax paper, and refrigerate overnight to chill and firm up. Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unwrap the dough rolls and slice them into 1/4-inch rounds. Place the cookie dough slices on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
