Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

I wanted to try something new for my mom's birthday celebration, so I found and adapted this recipe.

1 1/2 cups shortening
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups oats
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking soda

Cream shortening and peanut butter.  Add brown sugar, eggs and vanilla.  Mix well.  Add in oats, flour, soda to mixture.

Drop onto sheet by teaspoonful.  Press down with a fork each way making a criss-cross and bake for 12 minutes at 350 degrees.

We all enjoyed this new treat.  Hope you will, too!  :-)

I did step-by-step photos of baking the cookies, but somehow they disappeared from the camera.  :-(  But, I did manage to get a few of the finished product.
