Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies with Walnuts

0 Cream together the shortening, butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
1 Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
2 Mix in the flour, salt, and baking soda until combined.
3 Stir in the oatmeal and walnuts by hand until well incorporated. 
4 Dump the dough out onto a large piece of wax or parchment paper and shape into a long log. The size of the log will determine the size of the cookie. For larger cookies, roll into a 12” log about 4” tall. For smaller cookies, roll into 2, 12” logs about 2” tall. Roll and freeze until you are ready to use (1 hour to months in advance).
5 Preheat the oven to 350 ℉. Slice the chilled or frozen dough into 1" rounds and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
6 Enjoy with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk or allow the cookies to cool and store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 weeks.
