How to Make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Peanut Cookies

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars till light and fluffy (around 7 minutes)
Add eggs, vanilla extract and water. Beat well
Combine flour, soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture and mix well (about 2 minutes)
Add oats and mix well
Stir in chocolate chips and peanuts (you can chop them if you like)
Drop by rounded teaspoons onto parchment lined cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each (I usually get a dozen on a standard sized sheet). Flatten with a dampened fork.
Bake @ 350 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes, rotating the pan @ the 8 minute mark, or till golden brown.
Remove from oven. Cool for a couple of minutes and then remove to a wire rack and cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
