- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cups boiling water
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a small bowl, stir oats into boiling water. Set aside to soak for 20 minutes.
