Oatmeal Crispies

This is a family recipe. I grew up making these with my Mom and sister. I love that you can make the dough ahead of time and freeze into logs. Then you can pull out the dough and have freshly baked cookies anytime.

Ingredients
1 cup crisco
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 t vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
2 eggs
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
3 cups oatmeal

Cream shortening, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Mix in flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Shape into 4 rolls and wrap in wax paper. Freeze for atleast an hour. If you have to you can skip this step. I'm not sure why freezing the dough is important, but it is just how I grew up making them. Cut and bake 10 minutes at 350.
