Maxine's Oatmeal Cookies

These are my husband's favorite cookies.

1 Cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar ( firmly packed )
Cream together
Add 2 eggs
Cream again
Add 1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix then add 3 cups quick cooking oats. Mix again.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes.
Sometimes when we go on a trip, I will make these and add raisins, pecans, chocolate chips and coconut. George calls them his gourmet traveling cookies.
