Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup flour (self-rising)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3/4 cup shortning

 1 1/3 cup packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups oatmeal

Combine everything except oatmeal and mix well.  Mix in oatmeal.  Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

This is such a yummy recipe.  I think my mom got it off the back of a Quaker Oats box when I was little.  You can add in raisins and nuts if you want, but trust me, it’s great the way it is.
