Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Mmm… These cookies are amazing! They rank up there close to my very favorite cookie ever. No joke. They're crisp on the outer edges, but still soft and chewy on the inside; the peanut butter flavor is subtle, not overwhelming as too many cookies tend to be, while the oatmeal adds a bit of texture. Trust me, you'll be glad you tried them!

1 cup butter, melted

1 cup sugar

2/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup peanut butter

2 eggs

2 t. vanilla

2 cups flour

1 cup oatmeal (It really doesn't matter if you use old-fashioned or quick oats; I just like old-fashioned!)

2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

1 (24 ounce) bag chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet.)

Start by combining the sugars in a large bowl. 

Melt the butter.

And add it to the sugars. Mix well!

Stir in the peanut butter…

Eggs…

And vanilla. Mix this all together well!

In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, oatmeal, baking soda, and salt.

Once it's all mixed, add it to the wet mixture.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Drop cookie balls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Grab a glass and flatten the cookies until they're 2/3 of an inch thick. Bake at 350* for 8 - 12 minutes. Watch them closely, you want them golden brown and a little too soft in the center. Pull them out and let sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes to finish cooking in the center.

Enjoy!

2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

1 (24 ounce) bag chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet.)

- Preheat the oven to 350*

- In a large bowl, combine the sugars and butter.

- Once it's well mixed, stir in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix really well!

- In another bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, baking soda, and salt. 

- Combine the wet and dry mixtures and then stir in the chocolate chips.

- Place balls of cookie dough on an ungreased cookie sheet and use a glass to flatten until they're around 2/3 inch thick. 

- Bake for 8 - 12 minutes or until the edges are golden. You'll want the centers to be gooey still. Just pull them out and let the cookies sit on the pan for a few minutes afterwards to finish cooking in the center. 

Enjoy!
