Selma's Best Oatmeal Cookies

 

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 

 

  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.
