These are Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies - yep, all that in one cookie. Sometimes I feel that since I don't like nuts, my cookies are all boring - but these were definitely far from boring, with an interesting texture and flavor.
Tip of the Day: Any recipe calling for chocolate chips can also substitute chopped chocolate - use a chef's knife to slice pieces of chocolate off a larger bar and chop them until the desired size.
Recipe: (adapted from Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours)
Makes about 60 cookies
2 sticks (1 cup) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups oats
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Beat the butter, peanut butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
Add in eggs, one at a time until well mixed. Beat in vanilla.
Stir in the oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix until just combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls on to parchment-paper lined sheets.
Bake at 350 F for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack.
My hubby will love these cookies!
