Since I haven't yet posted any cookie recipes, I figured it was about time. I know, I know... not really so healthy. However, this girl's got a sweet tooth like no other, and sometimes you just gotta give in, right.? I'm trying hard to learn what the word "moderation" means when it comes to the sweet stuff. Anyway... I was craving something with chocolate and peanut butter over the weekend. Then I thought to myself...I wonder if a recipe exists for a peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. Well, silly me...there sure is a recipe for that! Let me tell you, this cookie is oh my yum! It is quick and easy, too!
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
from The Girl Who Ate Everything and Brown Eyed Baker
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix together the flour, baking soda and salt, and set aside.
3. In another bowl, on medium speed, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract for about 3 minutes.
4. Next, add the egg and beat until combined. Then, on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture until combined. Stir in the rolled oats and then the chocolate chips.
5. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the cookies are a golden brown. Allow them to cool completely on the cookie sheets, as they will be very soft. Store these cookies in an air tight container at room temperature, or freeze them, as I did.
