I made these cookies tonight. Since everyone is sharing recipies -- I thought I'd share these. The recipe came from a Taste of Home Makeover Recipies magazine. The magazine makes over certain recipies to make them less fattening and more healthful. I made the original recipe.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup shortening (I used butterflavored)
1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup peanutt butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1-3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
In a mixing bowl, cream shotening and sugars. Add eggs, on at a time. (be careful not to drop the eggshell in the mixing bowl -- I find this hard not to do at times.) Beat in peanut butter and vanilla. Combine the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in chips.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 325 for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yields 4 or more dozen.

Mackenzie will be over tonight...We have to make Pound Cake with cream cheese and these cookies. I have it all set up and I am waiting. She will be so excited getting them off the net and I will tell her stories about you while we cook.
By the way, Mackenzie has been cracking my eggs for recipies since she was 2. She can now crack them one handed and nary a shell in the food!
