1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup other shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
1½ teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1½ flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups raw quick-cooking oatmeal
1 cup finely chopped nuts
Cream butter and shortening, gradually add white and brown sugar. Blend well. Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time. Beat well. Sift flour, measure and sift 3 times with soda and salt.
Turn mixer to low speed, adding sifted dry ingredients to butter mixture. Fold in oatmeal and chopped nuts. Shape into rolls about 2 inches in diameter and chill overnight.
Cut into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350° F for 12 minutes.
Alternate method is to drop a teaspoonful of the batter onto the cookie sheet - no chilling.
