Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

So I found this chocolate chip cookie recipe on a box of Golden Crisco!

I tried it and was the best cookie I've ever made!

I made couple substitions, though.  

I used less sugar, added some oatmeal and ..OOooops.... didn't have pecans.

3 inches (7cm) between cookies.
