Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies

This is a recipe that I got from one of our MOPS mentor moms Rhonda Lehman. It has oatmeal, whole wheat and peanut butter (protein) so it is basically health food! ;) I have given a couple of people the recipe since she gave it to me so I decided that it would be easier if I just post it here.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups shortening
1 1/2 cups Peanut Butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups cooking oats
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

In mixing bowl cream shortening and peanut butter. Add brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla; mix well. Combine dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture and mix well. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Flatten with fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until slightly browned. Makes 4 dozen
