Momma Palmer’s cookies

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Shortening                             1 1/2 Cup Flour

1 Cup Brown Sugar                          1 Teaspoon Salt

1 Cup White Sugar                           1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

2 Beaten Eggs                                  1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

1 Teaspoon Vanilla                            3 Cups Oats (do not use instant or one-minute oats)

1 Cup Chopped Pecans

DIRECTIONS

Mix the shortening and both sugars together, then add eggs and vanilla. Mix well.

Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl, except for the oats and pecans. Mix wet and dry ingredients together. Mix in the oats and then the pecans.  Make 3 rolls and wrap each in wax paper.  Place rolls in refrigerator and chill for about 6 hours.

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Cut dough and bake until brown.

Note: I have prepared the dough in the evening and placed rolls in a Ziploc bag overnight and baked the cookies the following morning. Be sure and get excess air out of the bag so the cookie dough does not dry out.
