Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups candy-coated chocolate candies
1 cup peanuts
3/4 cup raisins

Directions

1

Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat sugars, peanut butter, butter, shortening, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Stir in flour, oats, baking powder and baking soda until well blended. Stir in candies, peanuts and raisins.
2

On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart; flatten slightly with fork.
3

Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until light brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack.

Tailor these cookies to suit your taste. It's okay, for example, to omit the peanuts and increase the raisins, or substitute walnuts for the peanuts.
Although quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats can be used for this recipe, the old-fashioned oats will make a chewier cookie with more texture.
