• 1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
• 3/4 c. white sugar
• 1 c. shortening
• 1 c. peanut butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 c. flour (can substitute 1 c. whole wheat)
• 1 c. rolled oats
• 2 t. soda
• 1/2 t. salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

In large bowl, combine first 5 ingredients; blend well. Stir in remaining ingredients.

Drop by teaspoonfuls (I roll into small balls and coat with white sugar), 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Press each with a fork (I use my potato masher, the sugar prevents the fork/potato masher from sticking).

Bake at 350 degrees F. for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Immediately remove from cookie sheet.

Note: Since I roll the dough balls in white sugar, I usually cut the sugar in the recipe down by 1/4-1/2 cup. I also add 1/4 cup of unprocessed bran
