Fall Cookies

In addition to pumpkin bread, zucchini bread and other "fall-flavored" goodies, I like to make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies in autumn.  There's nothing particularly fall-themed about them, but they're too hardy to make in spring or summer...enjoy!

Mix:

1c shortening

1c brown sugar
