Ingredients
1 cup Crisco (If you buy the sticks it is one stick) + 2tbs of water
1 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 cup bread flour (can use all-purpose flour it will less chewy this way)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup chopped pecans
2 tbs orange zest (probably 1-2 oranges worth)
1/3 cup of orange juice (can use the fresh from the oranges you zested OR just use from a bottle)
1.5 cups of craisins or any brand dried cranberry
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
In a large bowl, cream together the Crisco, water, brown sugar, egg, orange zest, orange juice and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together.
Mix the dry into the wet ingredients until well combined. Then stir in the nuts and dried fruit. Bake for 10-12 minutes and cool on a wire rack
