Hillary Clinton`s Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cook

1 1/2 c Flour

1 ts Salt

1 ts Baking soda

1 c Shortening

1 c Light brown sugar

Firmly packed 1/2 c Sugar

1 ts Vanilla

2 Eggs

2 c Old fashioned rolled oats

12 oz Semisweet choclate chips

1. Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Set aside.

2. With an electric mixer beat together the shortening, sugars and

vanilla in a large bowl until creamy. Add eggs, beating until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in flour mixture and oats. Stir in chocolate chips. 3. Drop batter by well-rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheets

and bake in a preheated 350-degrwe oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden. 4. Let cool on sheets for 2 minutes before transfering to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes 7 1/2 dozen. I must like a larger cookie because this only made 4 1/2 dozen from me. They took 14 minutes to bake. -----
