COWBOY COOKIES, KANSAS-STYLE

Category: Cookies

2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar and packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 cups rolled oats
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 (12 oz) pkg chocolate chips
1 cups chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350. Sift together dry ingredients. Blend shortening and sugars. Add eggs. Beat until fluffy. Add flour mixture and mix well. Add oats last, then vanilla extract and chocolate chips and nuts. Dough will be crumbly. Drop from teaspoons onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until brown.

NOTE: I like to spread them into a pan for bars.
