1 c. shortening
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. quick oatmeal
1/2 c. nuts

Cream shortening and sugars. Sift flour, salt, soda and spices together, mix well. Add vanilla, eggs, oatmeal and nut meats. Shape into log shaped roll and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Slice at desired thickness and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Be careful that the dough does not "disappear" before baking if little boys are nearby.
