Peanut Butter Oat Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup margarine, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius, for optimal baking results.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine and cream together peanut butter, brown sugar, white sugar, shortening, and margarine using an electric mixer on a medium speed setting until you achieve a smooth consistency.
3
Gradually incorporate eggs into the mixture, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next, resulting in a well-blended mixture.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Then, gently fold the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until they are fully incorporated.
5
Mix in oats just until they are combined, taking care not to overmix the dough.
6
Scoop out small amounts of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie for even baking.
7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are just lightly browned. Resist the temptation to overbake, as this can result in dry cookies.
8
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool before storing them in an airtight container.
