Oatmeal Mini-Pieces Cookies

Every Sunday our family likes to make a dessert and then deliver it to friends. We tried this one a few Sundays ago and it was a winner. It's a good thing we gave most of them away or I would have eaten way too many. They are so good! 2/3 cup shortening 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons milk 1-1/2 cups rolled oats 1-1/3 cups (10-oz pkg) Mini Reese's Pieces

  1. Heat oven to 350. Lightly grease cookie sheet.

  2. Beat shortening and sugars in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; add alternately with milk to sugar mixture. Stir in oats and candy.

  3. Drop by teaspoons onto cookie sheets. Bake 9-10 minutes or until lightly brown.

  4. Cool 10 minutes on cookie sheet. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
