Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup shortening or 1 cup margarine; 1 cup chunky peanut butter; 1 cup granulated sugar; 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed; 2 eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla; 2 cups all-purpose flour, unsifted; 2 teaspoons baking soda; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 2 cups shredded wheat, crushed; 1/2 - 2/3 cup coarsely-chopped peanuts

Servings: persons

1 cup shortening or 1 cup margarine
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour, unsifted
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded wheat, crushed
1/2 - 2/3 cup coarsely-chopped peanuts

1
Mix together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
2
Add eggs and vanilla and beat until light.
3
Sift the flour with the soda and salt; stir into creamed mixture until well blended.
4
Lightly mix in the shredded wheat and peanuts.
5
Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of batter, about 2 inches apart, on ungreased cookie sheets. (This makes rather ragged cookies, so I like to roll them into balls first, but little pieces of shredded wheat DO stab a bit!) Using the tines of a fork, press dough flat in each direction to make a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie.
6
Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
