oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

this is a recipe one of my college roommates used to make. i've discovered, just as she had, that the dough is just as addicting as the actual cookies are.

1 c shortening
1 c sugar
1 c brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 c flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 c oatmeal
chocolate chips

mix shortening and sugars together. add eggs and vanilla. stir in flour, salt, and baking sida. add oatmeal and chocolate chips (as many as you like) last. drop rounded tablespoonfuls onto baking stone and bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. DO NOT cook till they look done or they'll be too hard. let cool 1-2 minutes before removing from stone.

* these are high altitude directions. for regular altitude, bake at 325 for 15 minutes.
* these bake best on a pizza/baking stone, but if you don't have one, bake on an ungreased cookie sheet.
