Selma's Best Oatmeal Cookies

List of Ingredients




Selma's Best Oatmeal Cookies
(These bear the same relationship to the ordinary oatmeal cooky that the Rolls-Royce does to the bicycle.)
Cream together:
1 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
and add one beaten egg. Now sift together:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon


and add it to the first mixture. Then add:


1 1/2 cups quick rolled oats
3/4 cup finely crushed walnuts or pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla


Chill it for an hour. Then put walnut-sized pieces on a greased baking sheet. Butter the bottom of a small glass, dip it in granulated sugar, and flatten out the little pieces. Just keep doing this--you don't need to rebutter the glass bottom, just resugar it each time. Then bake at 350F for 10 minutes
