4 steps

Ingredients

3/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup strong coffee
1 egg
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups all-bran cereal

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 350. Don't grease the baking sheets.
2

Put the shortening, sugars, coffee, and egg in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth and blended. Add the oats, flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir very well so the dough is well mixed.
3

Spread the All Bran cereal out on a piece of waxed paper. This is a sticky dough, so wet your fingers with cold water before pinching off about 2 tablespoons of dough at a time and rolling it in the All Bran. Don't worry if you can't get a heavy coating of cereal on each piece of dough; if just a little of the All Bran sticks, it will give a nice texture to the cookies.
4

Place the dough pieces about 1 1/2-inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on racks.
