Do you cook the oatmeal before turning them into cookies?

I want to bake my wife's kid some homemade oatmeal cookies. But none of the recipe say if you need to cook the oatmeal before adding the ingredients. I made a batch today with uncooked oats and it came out runny.

Am I doing something wrong here?
 
No. The oatmeal cooks right along with the other ingredients. And don't add any water to the recipe.

Beat together shortening, Imperial sugars, egg, water and vanilla until creamy.
