Oatmeal Bran Breakfast Cookies

• 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

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.
