Grandma Jenning's Oatmeal Cookies

This is the cookie Jill made. Her Grandma Jennings keeps this in the freezer for visitors. I must say these are the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had. I think I'll keep a roll of these in the freezer too and bake as needed.

1 cup shortening

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

3 cups oatmeal

Cream together shortening and sugars. Mix in vanilla and eggs. Add dry ingredients. Roll into a long tube about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and place in plastic wrap. Make two logs per recipe. Freeze for at least 24 hours. Cut cookies from log as needed and cook at 400 degrees for 7-8 minutes.
