Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Preheat Oven to 375

1 c. crisco or 1 crisco bar
2 eggs
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar firmly packed
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour or 2 c. flour if no oatmeal
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 pkg. chocolate chips
2 c. quick oats (add with chips)
chopped nuts (optional)

Beat crisco, sugar, eggs, vanilla until crisco is no longer in visible sight by hand

Add dry ingredients. Blend well along with chocolate chips and any optional ingredients.

Drop from large spoon about a little bigger than golf ball size on ungreased cookie sheet. (preferably on an airbake cookie sheet)

Bake 10 to 12 minutes maybe longer depending on size of cookie if it's very large. They should be just turning brown on top but not to brown all over.

Serve with milk, mmmmm.
