I can't believe summer is almost over. I don't want it to go away but then I really enjoy fall. The leaves changing, the cool weather, the fall clothes...a wonderful time of year. Oh yeah, and school starts again too - that isn't one of my favorites - but oh well.
Anyway, here is a new cookie recipe I made over the weekend. My family and I enjoyed them, new cookie recipes are always fun to try. With a glass of cold milk these cookies are yummo!
"Quaker Oatmeal Cookies"(thanks Rachelle)

3/4 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups Quaker Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

yummy! I love oatmeal...just had to make a loaf of zucchini bread to satisfy the urge (for sweets and a nutmeg/cinnamon combo)

Your cookies look superb Priscilla! Have a great week!
I don't normally make oatmeal cookies because they almost always call for raisins (which I dislike!) but this recipe looks great! I'll have to try it out.
Oatmeal cookies. Yummy!!! I haven't had them in a long time. I guess I need to get in the kitchen!
I'm with you, I wish summer could last all year! These cookies look like blue ribbon winners.
