Granma's Oatmeal Cookies
3/4 cup butter flavored shortening
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 cups whole oats, NOT quick oats
1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, beat shortening, sugars, egg, water, and vanilla together until creamy. Sift together flour, salt and soda; add to creamed mixture; blend well. Stir in oats & pecans. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for 9 - 12 minutes, depending on how you like your cookies. Less time and they will remain chewy. :-)
