Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Is it possible to have to many delicious cookie recipes?  I think not!  One bite and you'll be glad I couldn't resist sharing yet another one.  Raisins not your thing?  No problem.  Replace them with chocolate chips (and if you don't like chocolate... WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!!!!).  You will think you're in heaven as soon as you start to smell them baking in the oven.  The cinnamon's the magic touch, but beware of over baking.  Enjoy :)

In a large bowl, cream the shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture, just until combined. Stir in the oats, raisins and pecans if desired.
