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

1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. cloves
3 C. oatmeal
