Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream together vegetable shortening and sugar substitute in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined, then add water and mix until the batter is smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, uncooked oatmeal, salt, and soda.

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Drop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear slightly underdone.

12 minutes

Remove baking sheets from oven and allow cookies to cool on the sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
