Crisp Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies were served in our school cafeteria; these were always the best tasting cookies when I was in school.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Directions

Step 1

In a large glass bowl, cream shortening, white sugar and brown sugar.

Step 2

Add the eggs and beat well.

Step 3

Add the oats, flour, coconut, soda, salt, baking powder and vanilla. Blend until mixture is moistened.

Step 4

Form into small balls and place on a greased baking sheet. Note: Do not press the balls down. Dough will spread in the oven and cookies will have a crinkled top.

Step 5

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes or until brown.
