HILLARY CLINTON COOKIES

1 1/2 c. unsifted all-purpose flour             
1 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
1 c. solid vegetable shortening (we used Crisco)
2 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 c. granulated sugar
12-oz. pkg. semisweet chocolate chips (we used Nestle)

Preheat oven to 350.  Combine flour, salt, and baking soda.  
Beat together shortening, sugars, and vanilla until creamy.  Add 
eggs, beating until light and fluffy.  Gradually beat in flour 
mixture and rolled oats.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Drop batter 
by well-rounded teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheets.  Bake 8 to 10 
minutes or until cookies are done.  Cool cookies on sheets for 
two minutes before placing them on wire rack for further 
cooling.  Yield:  7 1/2 dozen cookies.
