Recipe Introduction
This is one of our favorite cookie recipes. So good!
List of Ingredients
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup unsalted butter -- softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup peanut butter
2 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (I use half white flour and half whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour)
1 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats (can also use quick oats)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups M&Ms, chocolate chips and/or chopped Hershey barsRecipe
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a large bowl, cream together shortening, butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well blended. Add vanilla.
Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt and oats; stir into the creamed mixture. Stir in M&Ms.
Drop by heaping spoonfuls (I use a cookie scoop) onto ungreased cookie sheets (I line mine with a silpat or parchmen paper).
Bake for 11-13 minutes in preheated oven, or until just barely puffed and starting to turn light golden and dry around the edges. Don't over-bake. Cool on cookie sheets a few minutes and then remove to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container.
