Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

3 cups shortening
2 cups brown sugar
2 1/2 cups white sugar
1 T. vanilla
6 eggs
1 T. soda
1 T. salt
Combine above ingredients and add:
6 cups flour (I ususally use bread machine flour for all my recipes)
3 cup oatmeal
12 oz. pkg. chocolate chips
Bake at 375 for 10 minutes or until brown.

This is an old favorite cookie recipe. Originally made by my ex when our kids were little, I found it buried in some old files. I can remember that they were awesome, but it's been a long time since I've had them.
