How To Make selma's best oatmeal cookies

Step 1

Cream together the shortening, white sugar and brown sugar. Add egg

Step 2

Sift together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add it to first mixture.
Step 3

Then add the oatmeal, walnuts and vanilla. Chill dough for an hour.
Step 4

Drop walnut sized pieces on a greased cookie sheet. Butter the bottom of a small glass, then dip it in granulated sugar and use to flatten out the cookie balls. Just keep dipping in sugar-you don't need to re-butter the bottom of the glass.
