Four-in-One Cookies

1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 flour
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups oatmeal, uncooked

Combine together shortening, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Add flour, soda, and salt; blend well. Stir in oatmeal. Bake at 350 for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool about two minutes; then remove from cookie sheet.

Variations: add 1 cups raisins, 1 cup salted peanuts, 6 oz chocolate chips, 6 oz butterscotch pieces, or 1 cup shredded coconut.

This is the new chocolate chip cookie recipe I use. I love this cookbook and you can buy it from the Church Distribution.
