RECIPES FROM MOM'S FILES
Oatmeal Crispies
| 1 cup shortening | 1.5 cup flour |
| 1 cup brown sugar | 1 tsp. salt |
| 1 cup white sugar | 1 tsp. soda |
| 2 eggs (unbeaten) | 3 cups oatmeal |
| 1 tsp. vanilla | 1/2 cup nuts |
Cream shortening, brown and white sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Sift flour, salt, and soda, and add to first mixture. Add oatmeal, nuts. Mix and form into long roll. Chill. Slice 1/4" thick. Bake on cookie sheet. 350F for 10 minutes.
We fix ours, however, by placing by teaspoonfulls on cookie sheet promptly after mixing. Then flattening slightly. Either way is all right.
