Step 1

Cream together the butter/shortening and sugar. Add egg. Mix well. Stir together the flour, oatmeal, baking soda and salt. Add to butter mixture.
Drop by teaspoonful onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten slightly with fork. Bake at 350 degrees. Try for 8-12 minutes….can’t remember exactly and my Mom’s recipe didn’t have the time on it!!
