OK I have taken a slight hiatus from posting new recipes. This is not due to lack of trying new things, but lack of desire to sit at the computer! See my computer in the kitchen died last fall and I have had to use the archaic old lap top that was bought ages ago and wasn't being used! It is a pain to use and periodically just turns off! I guess it is a good timer to monitor your Internet or computer use!!
Well, I made these cookies in April! They were so yummy and definitely on my make often list, especially since I just bought the big jumbo jars of peanut butter at Costco!
The cookies are soft and the combination of peanut butter and chocolate are always a good combo in my book! The other bonus in my eyes is that they make about 16-20 cookies! Just enough to eat and not too many leftovers for my house! My true love is a hot cookie out of the oven!!
Peanut Butter-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 stick or 1/2 cup butter at room temp
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup oats
- 3/4-1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside! (If you have an Allison's pantry dealer near you, you totally need to get there parchment paper sheets. They come in sheets to fit your cookie sheets exactly! I love it! No curling sheets, cutting to size, etc! Totally worth every penny!
Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside. (I don't often set aside my dry ingredients, probably because I am too lazy! So do if you like, she recommended it but I think I just added the dry ingredients a little at a time!)
Cream together the butter, peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar,and vanilla extract. Do this for about 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat to combine. On low speed, gradually add your whisked dry ingredients (or add them a little at a time like I do! Live dangerous!!). Add your oats, and then chocolate chips. The original recipe called for 1 cup, but I thought it was too many chocolate chips, so I adjusted my recipe for next time to 3/4 cup. I would recommended to start with 3/4 and see what you think!
Use a large cookie scoop and drop your dough onto your prepared parchment lined baking sheets. Place about 2 inches apart at least and bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool completely on your baking sheets and then store in an air tight container!
Enjoy some peanut butter chocolate goodness and no you are getting your oats as well!
