Recipe For Oatmeal Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl mix 1 cup white granulated sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 cup shortening. Thoroughly cream together.
Add two beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla. I like to beat the eggs and vanilla in the same cup before adding.
Add 1 and 1/2 cups sifted flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt. Thoroughly mix.
Add 3 cups quick-cooking oatmeal. Thoroughly mix.
At this point you can add a half cup of chopped pecans, walnuts, or raisins. Mix.
You can make the cookies as large as you like; they do tend to spread, though. About a tablespoon full or so each cookie will make 3 dozen. Bake at 350 degrees on a greased foil or non-stick pan for 15 minutes.
Cool! Need future recipes such as potato salad, deviled eggs, etc. in future!
