Mamma's Oatmeal Cookies

Many of Mamma's recipes have sketchy instructions. This recipe gave only the ingredients and instructions for baking. The mixing directions are mine.





List of Ingredients



• 1 1/2 cups flour
  
• 1 teaspoon soda
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 cup Crisco
  
• 2/3 cup sugar
  
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
  
• 2 eggs, beaten
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
  
• 2 cups oats (regular or quick, not instant)
  
• 1/2 cup nuts, chopped
  
• 1/2 cup raisins, if wanted
  






Instructions



1. Combine dry ingredients. Set aside.
   
2. Cream Crisco and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla.
   
3. Stir in flour mixture. Mix in remaining ingredients.
   
4. Grease cookie sheets. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls. Press lightly with fork.
   
   
5. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.
   






Final Comments


I would probably add some spices to this recipe: cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, perhaps.
