I remember making these with my mom and enjoying the batter itself more than the cookies. It is a simple yet incredible recipe. One that lends itself to drop cookie or spread out in a pan and cut into bar cookies. This makes plenty – and warm from the oven  is the best!

• 1 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp cinamon
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 3/4 tsp water
• 2 1/4 cup flour
• 3 cups quick cooking oatmeal
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• 1 pkg chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350˚.

Cream together the shortening, sugars and eggs in a mixer. Add the other ingredients an dmix well. Roll the dough into balls about the size of walnuts and press lightly with a fork making a criss-cross pattern on each cookie. Bake these for 10-12 minutes. This makes about 100 cookies, or divide dough into 2-13 x 9″ baking pans and spread evenly. Bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown.
