This is a recipe that we all should have because it is awesome. and delicious. :)
1c. shortening
1c. brown sugar
1c. sugar (granulated)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 cups rolled oats
combine all ingredients well, spoon onto waxed paper and form about 2" in diameter logs of cookie dough. roll up in waxed paper. Place rolls in freezer until ready to bake.
when ready to bake, preheat oven to 350, slice roll in 1/4 to 1/2 (or however thick you want your cookies) inches and place on cookie sheet. Bake for 11-14 minutes. Do not let get too brown, the darker the cookie, the crispier it will be.
These remind me of our old house - mom used to make them all the time! We would sit under the sink in our 'cave' and eat these with milk.
I've made them with cinnamon and nutmeg, raisins or chocolate chips too, but the original recipe is the best.

i added wheat germ-( always tried to get the good stuff into all of you!) i liked them because you could freeze some and when you needed them- just slice and bake- also it used up my large amounts of oatmeal that i had in storage.
ReplyDeletecan you use unsalted butter instead of shortening? I assume yes, because they don't sell shortening here and i usually do substitute it.
