The BEST Peanut Butter Cookies

These are seriously the BEST peanut butter cookies I've had. My mom's visiting teacher (Heather Ashcroft) brought these over for Christmas and she kindly gave us the recipe (after much begging).

Cream together:
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup peanut butter

Add:
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Mix together, then add:
2 cups flour
1 cup instant oats

Here's where you can spice it up a bit: Add chocolate chips, M&M's, or other add-ins to give your cookies a little extra personality. Heather had M&M's in hers, but...

I just love them plain.

Bake for 8-10 minutes (closer to 8 usually) at 350*.
