Best By Far Oatmeal Cookies


2 cups flour
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup shortening
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats
sugar for dipping

In mixing bowl (duh) mix together first 6 ingredients. Add shortening (I use Butter Flavour Crisco), eggs and vanilla. Beat well. Stir in oats. Form into small balls and dip tops in sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet (I never use greased cookie sheets anyway, I always use parchment paper on my cookie sheets). Bake at 375 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes - for my oven I leave in about 91/2 minutes.
Makes about 51/2 - 6 dozen depending on the size of the cookies! I got 68 this time around - the recipe said I could get 7 dozen. Yeah, right. How small would they be, I wonder - mine aren't all that big.
