I changed this up a bit due to a couple of the reviews I read and what I had on hand. One review gave me the courage to go ahead and bake these without worrying if I had the right shortening. I mixed butter and canola oil. I used whole wheat flour, and I added a mixture of cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger. These cookies came out great. Excellent base recipe. You can't mess it up 
Thank you!

I rarely bake anything but I had the ingredients on hand for this and tried it. Well I jus might be a "baker" now. These were good!! Just like real "homemade" Oatmeal Cookies. Thanks Melismak.

My dad loved them, and that means a lot because he owned a bakery 
The recipe is good as written, but I made some change: I subbed the shortening for 2/3 cup of oil, so they were crunchy (but I like them better that way). If you want them chewy, just bake it 9-10 min. The dough was very sticky (probably due to the oil) so I chilled it. I did add 1tsp of cinnamon and subbed the granulatd sugar for Splenda, but kept the brown sugar (very important in a cookie recipe! :p). Thank you!
