Oatmeal Cookies

I have a secret, but it's not a very big one and I'm sure a lot of you share this secret with me. I love to eat cookie dough when I make cookies! However, I have to feel guilty when I eat dough that has raw eggs in it because I know it's not healthy. So, that said, I have the perfect oatmeal cookie recipe because there are no eggs in it and I haven't come across any other recipes that don't call for eggs.

2 cups brown sugar
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup milk (soy milk is okay, too)
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
4 cups oatmeal

1) Mix everything but the oatmeal together.
2) Add the oatmeal. I know it seems like a lot but it all fits in there, you just have to use your muscles!
3) If you want perfectly round cookies you can shape them into a ball before you put them on an ungreased cookie sheet. After that, wet the bottom of a glass and flatten the cookies out. But if you're like me just slop the dough on there and it'll taste great anyway!
4) Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.
5) Enjoy!

Only follow steps 1,2, and 5!
