Oatmeal Reese's Mini Pieces Cookies

During the summer months, our church has a fellowship after church and they serve cookies every week.  We have a lady who bakes them all!  Wow!  Anyway, this lady makes a cookie that is similar to this and I have always wanted the recipe.  I'm chicken to ask her so I googled it and this is what I came up with.  Oh, how I enjoy trying new things.  Then....when they turn out...that is the best!

2/3 c. shortening
1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
1/3 c. granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 t. vanilla
1 c. flour
1/2 t. soda
1/2 t. salt
2 T. milk
1 1/2 c. rolled oats
1 1/3 c. Reese's mini pieces candy

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease cookie sheet.  Beat shortening, brown sugar and granulated sugar in large bowl until fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla.  Stir together flour, soda & salt; add alternately with milk to sugar mixture.  Stir in oats and candy pieces.  Drop by scant 1/4 cupfuls or use cookie scoop onto prepared cookie sheet.  Press cookies down a little.  Bake 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool 10 minutes on cookie sheet.  Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.  Cool completely.
