1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 c. rolled oats
1/4 c. finely chopped nuts

Cream shortening and sugars. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir together flour, salt, baking soda, oats and nuts. Add to creamed mixture. Blend. Shape dough into 2 inch rolls, like Pillsbury cookie dough at the grocery store, on waxed paper. Roll up and twist ends. Chill until firm, or freeze for later use. When ready to bake, cut into 3/4 inch slices. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 10 minutes.
