Cowboy Cookies

Just found this recipe. Mother made these often for home and for showers. I really think she liked them as much as she said Daddy liked them.

Cowboy Cookies:

1 cup Crisco

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup light brown sugar

2 eggs

2 cups oatmeal

2 cups flour

1 - 6oz. pkg. Nestle's chocolate chips

1 cup chopped pecans

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla

Cream Crisco and gradually add sugar. Then add eggs, one at a time beating well. Add oatmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla. Using spoon mix nuts and chocolate chips to batter. Form into balls about 1 1/2 " in diameter. Place on greased baking sheet about 2" apart. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes, until lightly brown.
