Ingredients

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 soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon

and add it to the first mixture. Then add:

1 1/2 cups quick rolled oats
3/4 cups pecans, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Chill for one hour. Then put walnut-sized pieces on a greased cookie 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 350 degrees for ten minutes.
