Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 -2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 2 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  3. Set aside.
  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.
  9. Stir in oats.
  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.
