Here is the recipe for:
Great Grandmother's Oatmeal Cookies
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon soda (baking soda)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix all together plus add the following heated together
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup water
Heat the above two until the shortening melts.
Mix and roll out 1/4" thick.
Cut with a round cutter.
Re-roll, cut, repeat.
She always put icing on top.
Icing:
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk (probably 1/3).
Mix the above and bring to a boil.
Add icing sugar until the mix thickens.
Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla.
Albert's notes:
Rolled oats are critical above.
Need a box (1 cup plus?) of icing sugar on hand.
Hmmm. No sign of baking instructions.
Probably something like 325-375F for 30-90 minutes.
(Some heat for enough time until they just start to brown.)
Probably can be taken from a standard cookie recipe?
