Hillary Clinton's Chocolate Chip Cookies

The perfect election night treat! All the Dems love Hillary's cookies!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 (12-ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease baking sheets.
Combine flour, salt and baking soda.
Beat together shortening, sugars and vanilla in a large bowl 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 teaspoonsful on to greased baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden.
Cool cookies on sheets on wire rack for 2 minutes. Remove cookies to wire rack to cool completely.

It must be a great recipe (It is; I've made these cookies hundreds of times since I got the recipe in 1997), because you can still access it on the White House website.
