Ingredients

• 0.75 Cups (cup) shortening
• 1 Cups (cup) brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 Cups (cup) white sugar
• 1 Large egg
• 0.25 Cups (cup) water
• 1 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract
• 1 Cups (cup) all-purpose flour
• 1 Teaspoons (tsp) salt
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) baking soda
• 1 Tablespoons (tbsp) cinnamon, ground
• 3 Cups (cup) rolled oats
• 1 Tablespoons (tbsp) molasses
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) nutmeg, ground (optional)
• 1 Teaspoons (tsp) baking powder

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
3. Beat in the egg, water, vanilla extract, and molasses until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in the rolled oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Enjoy your deliciously spiced oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
