For Popparoc46: The oatmeal cookie recipe I use 2 cups flour 1 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt Mis above in small bowl, set aside In Larger bowl mix: 1 cup vegetable shortening 1 cup white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 1 tsp vanilla 2 eggs Mix the above with electric mixer until fluffy. Add flour mix to the shortening/sugars mix gradually, blending well To this add: 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats Mix well. You may add in raisins, chocolate chips, nuts etc. at this point. Around 2 cups total of add-ins is about right. Form dough into 1-2 inch balls and place onto greased or parchment paper lined cookie sheet about 1" apart. Flatten the dough balls slightly with your hands. Bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes until bottoms are golden brown. Music by Kevin Mcleod/incompetech.com
