Cream together brown sugar, white sugar, and shortening until smooth and well combined.

In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.

Add eggs and mix well.

Stir in rolled oats, cornflakes cereal, chopped dates, and semisweet chocolate chips.

Work the dough with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Divide the dough in half.

Place each half on a sheet of waxed paper.

Form each half into a long roll.

Refrigerate the rolls for 1-2 hours to chill the dough.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Slice the chilled dough into 1/4 inch thick slices.

Place the slices on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
