cowboy cookies

recipe contributed by nephew Lyle Nelson.  photo of Norma & Leonard Nelson.
My mom's (Norma Nelson's) recipe.  My brother Curt brought this recipe home from Cub Scouts. 

1 C shortening
1 C brown sugar
1/2 C granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp cold water
2 C flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 C old fashioned Mother's oats (Quaker oats)
1 small package chocolate chips


Cream shortening and sugar, add eggs, vanilla and water. Add dry ingredients, then oats and chocolate chips.
Bake 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.  They look real soft when baked enough.  They crispen up.  10 minutes is usually plenty of baking time.
