Oatmeal Crispies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. shortening (1/2 butter)
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
3 c. oatmeal
1/2 c. nut meats

Preparation

Cream shortening and sugars.
Add beaten eggs and vanilla, then the dry ingredients and nuts.
Form in long rolls.
Wrap in wax paper and let stand overnight.
I usually put them in the freezer until you can slice them off nicely.
Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for about 10 minutes at 350\u00b0 to 375\u00b0.
Makes quite a lot of cookies.
