Thanks so much. I will give these a try. I usually keep mine in for less time as well, and with some of my other recipes like sugar cookies and chocolate chip, it works wonders. Wonder what I'm doing wrong with the peanut butter? Lol, or maybe most people just don't like their peanut butter cookies soft. Thanks again.

You could probably add some peanut butter to this if you want too and it wouldn't hurt it. I always just reduce the cooking time by a minute some times when making cookies and on the pan before cooling they will feel almost not done, but, they are, and when they cool completely they firm up more but are still soft and not crunchy, which I like them soft too. Katie recipe follows: SOFT OATMEAL APPLESAUCE COOKIES 1/2 c. shortening 1 c. sugar 1 egg 1 3/4 c. flour 1/2 tsp. soda 1 tsp. cinnamon 3/4 c. seedless raisins 1 c. quick oats 1 c. applesauce 1 tsp. baking powder Cream shortening, sugar, and egg. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture. Add applesauce. Beat well. Drop by tea spoonful onto baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
