From Tastefully Oklahoma – Recipes featuring made in Oklahoma products

• 1 cup shortening
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 ½ cups Shawnee Mills All-Purpose Flour
• 3 cups old fashioned oats
• 1 c.up chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease cookie sheets.
2. Cream shortening and sugars until light.  Add eggs and beat thoroughly.  Add salt, soda, cinnamon and vanilla.  Mix in flour, oats and pecans; combine well.
3. Place rounded tablespoons of dough on cookie sheets.
4. Bake 12 to 14 minutes.  Bake time determines the texture of your cookie.  Cook longer for crunchy cookie --- less for chewy cookie.  

Tip:  To measure shortening, use the same cup you cracked your eggs into.  This will keep shortening from sticking to the cup and makes for easier clean up.  

Yield:  About 4 ½ dozen cookies.
