Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

These are the BEST oatmeal cookies EVER. Make sure you use rolled oats, real butter and shortening. You may have to do a trial batch to see what bake time works for your oven. My yield and serving size info is not correct.... I can't remember what the total yield is since we usually make these in HUGE batches. :D
