1 c. shortening
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. granulated sugar
2 beaten eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
3 1/2 c. quick-cooking oats

Mix all ingredients together. Drop by spoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

HINT: Take out before completely done. They finish baking on the sheet and this makes a softer cookie!
