A friend of mine made these delicious cookies last week. I had to have the recipe! Now I can share it with all of you. Yum!

3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup peanut butter
3 cups quick-cooking or regular rolled oats, uncooked

Stir together flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Mix in peanut butter until well blended. Stir in oats, mix well. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
