Honey Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies recipe

Honey Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies (or as I'm taking to calling them HOP-B Cookies)
1 1/2 c whole wheat flour
1/2 t baking powder
1 c plain oatmeal
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c butter (or use the no-trans fat Crisco, add some butter flavoring if you have it - haven't tried this way yet)
1/2 c natural peanut butter (I like it with crunchy, original recipe called for creamy, and I used the Trader Joe's brand)
1/4 c honey
2 eggs
2 t vanilla (use the real stuff, not that imitation junk ;) )

Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Wisk the flour, baking powder, and oatmeal together in a medium bowl until combined, set aside.
Beat sugar and butter/shortening together until you get a grainy paste texture
Add peanut butter, honey, eggs, and vanilla to the paste, beat until smooth
Slowly incorporate the dry mix into the wet, small batches at a time while scraping down the sides of the bowl, until all ingredients are combined evenly.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in 300 degree oven for 23-25 minutes or until bottoms of cookies turn golden.
Upon removal from oven, immediately transfer to a cool flat surface with a spatula.
