Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups oatmeal
6 oz chocolate chips
1/2 - 1 cup pecans, optional

Combine sugars and shortening. Add eggs. Mix in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add vanilla. Add oatmeal and chocolate chips.

Bake 350 degrees, 10-12 minutes. (My oven cooks them in 8 minutes) Makes about 4 or 5 dozen cookies.

Also, most of the time I make two batches, cook a dozen or so cookies and freeze the rest of the batter. Just roll the dough in wax paper (usually makes makes two or three rolls). Later you just pull out a roll, slice and bake!

p.s. I'm stoked about this blog =) Thanks, Bekah, for getting it set up!
