1 c. shortening
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
3 c. old fashioned oats
1 c. walnuts
1 tbsp. lemon peel, grated

Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and lemon or vanilla. Beat until creamy. Add flour, salt, and soda sifted together. Add oatmeal, nuts, and grated peelings. This will form a very stiff dough. Drop by teaspoons on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. These can burn easily, so watch! Cinnamon, raisins or coconut can be added also. MMMMMMM good!
