These are a Quaker recipe, and yes they have shortening in them (gasp!), maybe that's why I love them so? I've made them a few times over here and an apple version here so now I've added them to my recipe's new home. I just whipped these up today, they're so fast and easy. These are really soft and keep for days, if they last! (if anyone out there has a good soft & chewy recipe without using shortening I'd love to try it!)
