Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Better than plain peanut butter cookies.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup oatmeal

Instructions

  1. Cream together sugars, shortening, eggs, peanut butter, and vanilla.

  2. Add dry ingredients and mix until combined.

  3. Roll into balls, place on cookie sheet, and smoosh with a floured fork or meat pounder. The meat pounder makes a more interesting and somewhat festive design.
  4. Bake at 350° for 8 – 12 minutes. Don't overbake; the cookies should be barely tan on the bottoms.
