1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. butter flavor shortening
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar

1 1/2 c. uncooked rolled oats
1/2 tsp. salt
1 3/4 c. flour
3/4 c. chopped pecans

Cream butter/shortening; beat in sugars, vanilla and eggs until light and fluffy. Add oats, flour, baking soda and salt to creamed mixture. Stir in morsels and pecans. Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes or until brown. Cool on wax paper. (This has been the best liked cookie in kindergarten Sunday school class for years now.)
