Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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.
