Jumbo Oatmeal Cookies

I've tried so many different oatmeal cookie recipes and this is the only one I've found that works at this altitude. They don't get flat and gross. These are delicious. And since they have oatmeal in them, I'm pretty sure they're healthy too.

1 C. shortening
1 C. packed brown sugar
1 C. white sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 C. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. cloves
3 C. oatmeal
1 C. nuts (optional)
choc. chips (optional)
raisins (optional)
coconut (optional)

Preheat oven to 350

Cream shortening and sugars in large boal. Beat in eggs, then vanilla

In separate bowl combine flour, soda, salt, sinnamon, ginger and cloves. Then mix into sugar mixture.

Add oatmeal and any of the optionals you're using.

Scoop with 1/4 C. measuring cup onto greased cookie sheet. Bake 13-15 min.

Try to eat only one, I dare you!
