Fabulous Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs (or 2 T dried whole egg & 1/4 cup water)
2 t. vanilla
2 cup whole wheat flour
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 cup quick cooking oatmeal

Put first 5 ingredients in bowl and mix together just until combined. (Shortening will be in small lumps.) Mix flour, baking powder, soda and salt together and blend into shortening mixture. Blend in oatmeal. Form into 1 1/4" balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Makes 3 dozen.
Just a side note: Shortening has the longest shelf life of all cooking oils.
