Grandma's Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

SUBMITTED BY: Lisa PHOTO BY: VMENERGIZERBUNNY

"Very moist (don't cook them too long), very rich in flavor, yet somehow not too heavy. Grandma's recipe! Even people who don't like oatmeal raisin cookies do like these."

2 cups shortening
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
