Outrageous Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Skookie

I have had this recipe for a while and finally decided it was time to use it! I found it on the everyday food storage site maybe a year ago and I don't know why I have waited so long to make them! They were super yummy and even made great cookies too!

She described these as a family tradition to make while her boys and husband were at conference meetings. She tops hers with ice-cream and sundae toppings.

We topped ours with whipped cream and caramel and loved every bite! We did share them, because your eyes are usually bigger than your stomach!

Outrageous Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Skookie

Suzanne Eliason-Utah's Down Home Cook Off Winner

(http://www.everydayfoodstorage.net/)

• 2 cup oats
• 1 1/4 cups flour (she used wheat flour)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs (2 tbsp dehydrated eggs + 1/4 cup water)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup (or 2 bars) milk chocolate bar - broken into chip size pieces (we both used chocolate chips)

In a medium bowl combine oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, combine butter and peanut butter and mix until smooth. Beat in sugars until well blended. Add eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Stir in chocolate pieces and then refrigerate dough for 1 hour or more.

Preheat oven to 375. Spray a Camp Chef Skookie pan (or whatever small pan you have) with cooking spray (if you are just making cookies, make as usual and cook for 8-10 minutes)

Add a handful of dough to pan and press to about 1/2 inch thickness and leaving dough about 1/2 inch from side of pan. You can see from my picture how much the cookie moves, so make sure to follow this direction. Fill your pans and bake for 10-15 minutes or until cookie becomes light golden brown. (She recommended putting your smaller pans onto a cookie sheet)

Top with ice cream, caramel sauce and hot fudge and enjoy!
