Ingredients

Cookie Base

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt

Add-ins

1 cup oats
1 cup Rice Krispies
½ cup nuts (optional; walnuts or pecans add a delightful crunch)

Instructions

Cream the Base: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the brown sugar, white sugar, and shortening until smooth and fluffy.
Mix in the Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated.
Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Incorporate Oats and Krispies: Fold in the oats, Rice Krispies, and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Bake: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a greased cookie sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

🔥 Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake, as ovens can vary. Remove them when the edges are golden but the center is still soft—they'll continue to cook on the sheet after you take them out!

Variations

Chocolate Chip: Add a cup of chocolate chips for a sweet twist. 🍫
Dried Fruit: Fold in some raisins or dried cranberries for extra chewiness and a burst of flavor.
Spices: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for a warm, cozy spice note.
Vegan: Substitute shortening with a plant-based butter and use flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water = 1 egg).

Now, gather your ingredients and get baking! These crispy delights are sure to please anyone who takes a bite! 🍪❤️
