Oatmeal Cookies Recipe & a giveaway.

Oatmeal Cookies
This is the favorite cookie in my house!



You will need:
1 c Shortening
1 c Brown Sugar
¾ c Sugar
2 beaten Eggs
1 tbsp Vanilla
1-½ c Flour
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp Nutmeg
3 c Oats (old fashion not quick/instant)
½ c Raisins Optional

Beat Shortening and sugars about 3 minutes; beat in eggs & vanilla. Mix together flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg; stir into sugar mixture. Stir in oats & raisins. Bake at 350 for 10-ish minutes. This makes a lot … 4-5 dozen. I can only guarantee the crispy chewy loveliness of the trans fat recipe; use margarine or butter at your own risk.
