Oatmeal cookies

No, I have not disappeared off the face of the Earth; I am only enjoying my mothers cooking and therefor I have not been able to post any recipes. I guess I could post some Hungarian/Romanian recipes, but I am too lazy and sometimes it is hard to write down a recipe that my mother makes because she does not use measuring cups only her eyes. LOL Well, I have been cooking for them too (they are visiting us from Romania), but what I have been cooking is what I already have on my blog. :D
Here is what I made today that was not on my blog till now. :D

Oatmeal cookies:

Ingredients:
1 1/2 Cup Shortening
2 Cups Brown Sugar
1 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Water
2 tsp Vanilla
2 1/2 Cups Flour
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking soda
6 Cups Rolled Oats

Mix wet ingredients and add the dry ingredients. Add 2 Cups Chocolate chips and 1 Cup nuts or raisins. Bake at 350* for 12-15 minutes.

You could also half this recipe because it makes a lot. This is a recipe from my mother in law and as I said before, she had 7 boys and 1 girl, so her recipes tend to be in a larger amount. :D Those hungry boys had to be fed somehow. :P
