1. 1. Cream the butter and shortening with the sugar, vanilla, and brown sugar for 3 minutes, do not over cream
   2. Once the butter mix is creamed, add the dry ingredients (sifting is not necessary) on low speed if using a mixer. If there are lumps briefly beat at low speed (do not over mix)
   3. Add the eggs on low speed
   4. Add the oats. Note: The egg mixture does not have to be thoroughly mixed before adding the oats
   5. Once the oats are mixed in, check the consistency of the batter. If the batter is too stiff, gradually add the water until the mixture becomes soft yet scoopable
   6. Form balls out of the cookie mixture making each ball approximately 2”
   7. Bake at 160°C (320˚F) for 15-18 minutes
   8. The Bread and pastry flour can be substituted with all-purpose flour by adding the amounts together (3 cups/308g)
