Instructions: 1. Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Set aside.

2. With an electric mixer beat together the shortening, sugars and vanilla in a large bowl until creamy. Add eggs, beating until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in flour mixture and oats. Stir in chocolate chips.

3. Drop batter by well-rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheets and bake in a preheated 350-degrwe oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden.

4. Let cool on sheets for 2 minutes before transfering to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 7 1/2 dozen.

I must like a larger cookie because this only made 4 1/2 dozen from me.

They took 14 minutes to bake.
