If you have a lot of extra pancake mix..

We had a big bag of Krusteaz buttermilk pancake mix and we don't really make pancakes and waffles that often so I looked for things I could make using this mix.  I found this recipe for oatmeal cookies on the New Hope Mills web site.  I baked these cookies and everyone liked them.

Oatmeal Cookies using 1 cup buttermilk pancake mix

3/4 cup shortening (I used coconut oil)

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1 egg

1/4 cup water

1 cup New Hope Mills Buttermilk Pancake Mix

3 cups oatmeal (I used old fashioned oats)

Cream the shortening and sugars together.  Add the vanilla, egg, and water, and mix again. Add the pancake mix, stir and then add the oats. Mix well and drop by spoonfuls on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
