These were always some of my favorite cookies growing up. Unlike the rest of my family I always have enjoyed the texture of oatmeal in my cookies. As I grew older I learned it was healthy(er) for you too. Of course, my kids are weird and dont like chocolate so I made a batch without the chocolate chips. They taste almost as good. :)
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Heat oven to 375. In a large bowl cream together peanut butter and butter. Add sugars. Beat in vanilla and eggs until well blended. Mix in baking soda and flour on low speed. Stir in oats and chocolate chips by hand.
On ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by tablespoons ( I pushed them down with the back of the spoon so the would cook more flat). Bake 10 -12 mins or just until edges begin to brown. Remove from oven and cool.
Eat just one, I dare you!
