Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup shortening

• 2 eggs

• 1 1/4 cups white sugar

• 1/3 cup molasses

• 1 3/4 cups flour

• 1 tsp. baking soda

• 1 tsp. salt

• 1 tsp. cinnamon

• 2 cups rolled oats

• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

• 1 cup chopped dates (optional)

Cream together the shortening and sugar. Add the eggs and molasses stirring well. Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Add to the wet ingredients and mix well. Finally stir in the oats, walnuts and optional dates. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookies sheet. Bake at 400° for 8 to 10 minutes. Cookies are quite tender and soft so allow them to cool a couple minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling. Store the cookies in an airtight container.
