Beat shortening and sugars together until creamy. Add eggs, one at a
time, beating well after each addition. Blend in peanut butter. Sift
together flour, soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture; blend well. Stir
in oats.
Shape to form 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased cooky sheets. With tines
of fork, press to make crisscrosses on each. (If dough sticks to fork,
occasionally dip fork in flour.) Bake in preheated moderate oven (350 F.)
12 to 15 minutes.
