A nice change of pace from the usual peanut butter cookie. My husband never liked peanut butter cookies until I made him this recipe.

Ingredients

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup margarine, softened

2 eggs
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick-cooking oats

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C).

2. In a large bowl, cream together shortening, margarine, brown sugar, white sugar, and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well blended.
