"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Directions:
Cookies:
Sift together flour, sugar, baking soda. Add brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, mixing well. Cut in shortening, add oats, work with fingers until dough just holds together. Roll dough to slightly less than 1/4 ". Cut out with cookie cutters. Bake on greased cookie sheet (350º) 7-10 minutes - until lightly browned around edges.
Use the extra sugar if you're not going to frost them.
Peanut Cookie variety:
Use extra sugar. Add 2 cup salted peanuts after oatmeal. Form into balls and flatten them.
Frosting:
Mix butter, powdered sugar, vanilla well. Add milk or orange juice 1/2 - 1 tsp at a time, stirring well after each addition. Add more sugar or milk to make it spread well. Separate into several bowls to color frosting for decorating
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Especially good at Christmas - fun to bake and decorate. Also, can roll out at different thicknesses depending on which person you're trying to please - thinner for crispier cookies, thicker for chewy cookies.
