Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1½ cup shortening
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
½ cup water
2 tsp. vanilla (I love vanilla so I add 4 tsp.)
Mix well.

Mix together in a seperate bowl-
2 cups flour
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. ground cloves
½ tsp. nutmeg
Now mix the dry ingredients with the wet and add 6 cups of oatmeal and the amount of chocolate chips you want.
Place by the spoonful on greased cookie sheet about an inch apart and cook at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
