Almost School Lunch Peanut Butter Fingers

   Love these. I can't get that paper thin icing, but I am sure it's because I like it thicker. Making these for a family reunion this weekend. Hope everyone likes them!
  
1 1/2 cubes margarine ( I have started using straight butter, I am sure it will be okay)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1egg (may I suggest yard fresh?)
1/2 cup peant butter
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cup flour
2 cups oatmeal
More peanut butter
Chocolate frosting
     Cream butter and sugars. Add egg, peanut butter and vanilla. Cream. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Put on cookie sheet. Smash as well as you can. Get you hands wet and pat it til smooth and covers the sheet. Bake at 350* for 10 minutes. Don't over bake this! Let cool for 10 minutes. Ice with peanut butter.cool completely, the top with chocolate frosting.
