Beat shortening and sugars together until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in peanut butter. Sift together flour, soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture; blend well.
Stir in oats.
Shape to form 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased cooky sheets. With tines of fork, press to make crisscrosses on each. (If dough sticks to fork, occasionally dip fork in flour.)
