Ingredients:  
1/2 cup pecan halves
1 cup shortening
1 cup packed dark or light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups rolled oats
Directions:
Directions:
Finely chop the pecans. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shortening and sugars. Beat together until combined. Lightly beat the eggs and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add the egg mixture to the sugar/shortening mixture and beat to thoroughly combine. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir to combine. Add the flour mixture to the egg/sugar mixture and stir until combined. Dump in the oats and pecans and stir to combine.

Divide the dough in half. Place each half on a sheet of waxed paper and form a roll 1 1/2 inches in diameter, wrapping the waxed paper tightly around the roll. Chill the rolls until ready to use, up to one week. (The rolls may be frozen for up to 3 months.)
When you are ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Unwrap the dough from the waxed paper and slice it into rounds about 1/2 inch thick. If the dough is frozen, no need to thaw; just increase the baking time by 1 to 2 minutes. Place the rounds on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until done. Remove from sheet.
