Grandpa O'Neill's Oatmeal Cookies

1/2 cup butter (one stick)
1/2 shortening (very important do not add just butter)
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoon molasses
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon salt
3 cup oatmeal, old fashion
1 cup bran flakes
1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 cup golden raisin (optional)
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 cup chocolate chips
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger

Mix flour, salt and baking soda, add oats, raisins, nuts and spices. Beat Butter and shortening together until creamed. Add sugar mix until creamed, add eggs, vanilla and molasses mix well. Combind with flour mixture. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

I only changed a few ingredients instead of all shortening I did half butter and half shortening and added the chocolate chips otherwise this is his recipe.
