List of Ingredients

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 tsp. salt

Recipe



Mix margarine, shortening and sugar together and then put about 3 tbls. of boiling water in a cup and add 1/2 tsp. soda to it and pour into the above mixture. Beat well.

Combine flour, oats and salt. Roll out on a floured counter to the thickness you would prefer. Cut into squares and bake in a 375 oven for about 6 minutes or until they are golden brown. Each oven is different and so watch carefully that they do not burn.

The white sugar can be substituted by 1/4 cup white and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. 1/2 cup of rice Krispies can be added for a better texture.
