- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup trans-fat free vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups Quaker® Oats quick or old fashioned, uncooked
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg
Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees.
Add the brown sugar, white sugar, and shortening to a large mixing bowl and mix well with an electric mixer.
Next, add the egg, vanilla extract, and water and mix well.
Pour in the oatmeal, salt, baking soda, and flour and mix well.
Scoop out a cookie and roll it in your hand. Place it on the ungreased cookie sheet and press it down a little.
Bake for about 9 to 11 minutes. The edges of the cookies should be golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
High Altitude Adjustments (3,000–7,000 ft):
– Add 2 tbsp flour
– Reduce each sugar by 1 tbsp
– Slightly reduce baking soda (use just under ½ tsp)
– Bake at 365–375°F
– Start checking oven 2–3 minutes early
Some people like using old-fashioned oats instead of quick oats because they're bigger and give the cookies a chewier bite.
