1/2 C butter or butter-flavored crisco
1-1/2 C granulated sugar
1-1/2 C brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
19 oz jar peanut butter
6 C uncooked oats
2-1/2 tsp baking soda

Drop by ice cream scoop onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 12-15 minutes at 375 degrees: cookies should be very lightly browned and just barely "set". Do not overbake. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet before removing. Store tightly covered.
