Notes: This is the recipe my Grandma Adelia Shurtliff would make while I was growing up. She called them Oatmeal Macaroons. It was the family favorite! I can picture her standing in front of her Bosch mixer adding all the ingredients. I didn't make them for years because I could never get them to turn out. I finally figured out that the secret was to beat the Crisco and sugar in a real mixer like a Kitchen Aid or a Bosch for a really long time! Once I started making them, they quickly became our family favorite. After I'd been making them for a little while, the kids asked where the recipe came from, if grandma had created it or if it came from her mom. I didn't know so I asked my mom, thinking it was a family heritage recipe or something. She said no, it was the recipe on the back of the Quaker Oatmeal box in the '30s & '40s. Well, it may not have been a family heritage recipe then, but it is now!
