3 cups brown sugar
3 cups white sugar
4 large eggs
4 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 tsp ginger
2 quarts quick oatmeal
2 Tbs milk

Cream shortening and sugars. Add eggs. Mix dry ingredients. Add to sugar mixture. Stir in milk and molasses. (It will be a stiff dough and you may need to use your hands to stir it all together). Roll into small balls and bake on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly on cookie sheet.
