Melt oleo in a pan, add sugar and stir, then add water. Cook on high STIRRING CONSTANTLY until light brown in color. It should be bubbly/puffy. (You have to get used to the best color as you make it several times.) If the mixture doesn t get puffy, pour it out. Rainy weather can also affect it.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Using about 1 tablespoon of dough for each, roll the dough into balls. (Once chilled, the dough will be slightly crumbly, but will come together as you roll into individual balls.) Place 10 to 12 on each baking sheet. Bake in batches for 8 to 10 minutes, until barely golden brown around the edges. They will look extremely soft when you remove them from the oven. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet.
