    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: sadielady

    The peanut butter really makes it taste great. I add a chopped Ghirardelli chocolate bar (or chocolate chips). It's a wonderful cookie. Everyone requests that I make this cookie.


    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup shortening
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    1 cup packed brown sugar
    3/4 cup white sugar
    1 cup peanut butter
    2 eggs
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 tsp. baking soda
    1 tsp. salt (I used a scant half tsp.)
    1 cup quick-cooking oats

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl cream together shortening, butter, brown and white sugars, and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir into the creamed mixture (I did this part by hand). Mix in the oats until just combined. Drop by tablespoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until just light brown (mine took 12 minutes). Don't over bake. Let sit on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.
