- preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease cookie sheet
- mix shortening, brown and white sugars
- add eggs, vanilla, salt, soda and water and mix well
- depending on my mood I add cinnamon here, about 1-2 tsp.
- mix in flour.
- add oats and mix some more
- bake at 350 for 12 mins (check at 10) and spray pan between batches to prevent sticking.
- you can reduce the amount of vanilla depending on your taste, I tend to like a little more.
- add in chocolate chips for really yummy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and/or nuts. These are thin enough that adding in whatever sound good to you at the moment works well.
