I have the recipe that my mom used to use from the box. It is

Oatmeal Cookies

3/4 cup vegetable shortening (butter flavored)
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups Oats (Old Fashion), uncooked
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Beat together shortening, sugars, egg, water, and vanilla until creamy.
Add combined remaining ingredients; mix well.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.
Bake in preheated moderate oven (350 degrees) for 12 to 15 minutes.
For a variety, add chopped nuts, raisins, chocolate chips.
I always put in tons of raisins.
Hope you enjoy!!!!!
