Recipe Wednesday: Oatmeal Crispies

Ingredients:

1 c shortening
1 c packed brown sugar
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c flour (all-purpose)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 cups quick oats
1/2 c finely chopped pecans

Directions:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together shortening, with both sugars until well combined. 

• In a separate bowl, beat eggs together. Add vanilla and stir to combine. Add to the shortening/sugar mixture and mix well. 

• In a separate bowl combine flour, salt & baking soda. Mix carefully into the egg/shortening mixture until well combined.

• Now add the oats and mix well.

• Finally add the finely chopped pecans and mix well to combine.

• Divide the dough in half and place each half of the dough on to a sheet of waxed paper.

• Roll the dough into a log and then wrap it tightly in the waxed paper. Now you can either chill or freeze the dough until later or you can go ahead and slice the dough evenly into cookie rounds. 

• When you are ready to bake them: place them on a cookie sheet and bake at 350* for 10 minutes until they are golden brown.

Happy Baking!
