3cupsrolled oats (old fashioned or quick - your choice!)
1cupraisins
½cupchopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Stir the shortening, sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl.
Add in the egg, vanilla, and water and mix until smooth.
Next add in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt and mix well. Add in the raisins, nuts, and oats and stir just until combined.
Drop the cookies by rounded teaspoons onto a greased baking sheet. Make sure they are about two inches apart because they will spread slightly as they bake.
Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes. They are ready when the edges just start to turn brown. At this point they may not look done but they will firm up as they cool. Let them sit on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve these cookies warm right out of the oven. Enjoy!
