Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies – seriously delicious! Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside! SO easy to make! Shortening, butter, brown sugar, sugar, peanut butter, eggs, flour, baking soda, salt and oatmeal. I always double the recipe! These cookies never last long!

This is a classic peanut butter cookie with just a hint of oatmeal. It reminded me of the Girl Scout peanut butter sandwich cookie without the filling. These were really easy to make. They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It is everything a peanut butter cookie should be – simple & good!
