Cream shortening and sugars.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Sift together dry ingred. and add to creamed mixture.  Stir in oats and raisins and mix well.  Bake at 325 degrees until golden brown.

Now you know me -- I love chocolate -- so add at least 1 1/2 c. chocolate chips  -- so you will have a massive amount of chips-- or split it with the raisins.  You will always enjoy these --
