3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. white sugar
1 c. shortening
2 eggs, beaten
1 tbsp. hot water
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 c. quick oatmeal
Chopped walnuts
1 (6 oz.) pkg. butterscotch chips
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream sugars and shortening. Add eggs and hot water. Then stir in flour, soda, oatmeal, walnuts, chips and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonful on cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes in a 375 degree oven.

NOTE: May substitute chocolate or peanut butter chips. I sometimes put both chocolate and butterscotch chips in.
