Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/4 cups quick-cooking rolled oats

1 cup crushed peanut brittle
Directions
1. Line 2 cookie sheets with foil and grease the foil; set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl beat butter and shortening with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer.

Bake for 4 to 5 minutes longer or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool. Makes about 24 cookies.
