Ashleigh's Oatmeal Cookies

These have always been a hit so, I thought I should post the recipe.

1c. butter flavored shortening
1c. brown sugar
1c. white sugar
2 large eggs
1t. vanilla
1 1/2c. AP flour
1t. salt
1t. baking soda
3 1/2c. oats
1/2t. cinnamon
1/2t. ginger
1/4t. nutmeg
1/4t. cloves

Set oven to 350. Mix wet ingredients and dry ingredients in separate bowls. Add dry to wet, mix well, but don't over do it or the cookies won't have that great oatmeal texture. Add any dried fruit or chocolate if you would like (about 1c.). Bake ~ 10 mins. depending on size.
