Southern Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon soda
3 cups minute oats (quick cook type)
1 cup nuts (optional, I don't use them)

Cream the shortening and sugars

Beat in the eggs and vanilla

fold in the flour, salt, soda, then the oats (and nuts if desired)

Roll into small balls and place on greased cookie sheet

Bake at 350 degrees aproximately 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Less cooking time means a chewier cookie
