How to cook deliciously - Poor Man’s Cookies

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cream the shortening and sugars until light and fluffy in a large bowl. Then, beat in the water and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt. Editor's Tip: Properly creaming sugar and fat can take five minutes of constant beating, so you'll want to use a hand-held or stand mixer for this job.

2. Stage

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix well, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed. Fold in the oats. Editor's Tip: If you add mix-ins, like chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them into the cookie dough with the oats.

3. Stage

Scoop tablespoons of cookie dough and drop them onto greased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the cookies to stand for 2 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Editor's Tip: Grease your baking sheets with shortening, butter or cooking spray. For fewer dishes, skip the oil and line the baking sheets with parchment.
