Old School Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients:

• 3/4 c. shortening, soft
• 1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 c. water
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 c. sifted all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 3 c. oats, uncooked

Instructions:

• 

  Combine in a mixer the sugar, eggs, vanilla water and shortening together.

• Add the flour, soda and salt in a separate bowl and stir together.
• Cream the flour mixture into the sugar/shortening mixture.
• Add oats into the mix.
• Drop by the teaspoon onto greased cookie sheets (or in my case silicon baking mat).
• Bake on preheated oven at 350 degrees for approximately 13 minutes (give or take based on taste).
• Let sit for at least 5 minutes to cool down.
• Enjoy

I think these are the best oatmeal cookies I have tasted in years.
