2 eggs
3 ½ c. flour
2 t. salt

Cream shortening, sugar, milk and vanilla together. Add eggs. Mix flour, salt and baking soda together and add to creamed mixture. Stir in chips, nuts and cherries (I always add cherry juice to the dough with a little extra flour). Drop on cookie sheet and flatten a little. Bake at 375 for 8-10 degrees. Do not overbake.
