Instructions: Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease cookie sheets lightly with unsalted shortening. Melt chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. Remove from heat. With an electric mixer beat in sugar, egg, salt and vanilla. Add oats and mix well. Drop slightly rounded teaspoonfuls of dough about 1-1/2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.

Flatten cookies slightly with the tines of a fork. Bake 15 minutes, or until done. Remove cookies from sheets and cool on wire cake racks.
