Selma's best oatmeal cookies

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Shortening
1 cup Sugar
½ cup Brown sugar
1 Egg, beaten
1½ cup Flour
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1½ cup Quick rolled oats
¾ cup Finely crushed walnuts or pecans
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Directions

Cream shortening, sugar and brown sugar together. Add the egg. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, soda and cinnamon. Add it to the shortening mixture. Then, add the oats, nuts and vanilla. Mix well.

Chill for an hour. Shape enough dough to make about the size of a walnut and place on a greased cookie sheet. Butter the bottom of a small glass, dip it in sugar and flatten out each dough ball. You don't need to rebutter the glass bottom, just resugar it each time.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
