The original recipe also calls for chocolate chips, and they were fabulous. The second time I made them, I didn't realize I was out of chocolate chips, so I used white chocolate chips instead. Delicious! Now, you all know I am not a fan of white chocolate. However, I do like it with peanut butter and these turned out really yummy. You can use whichever you like!
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yield: ~35 cookies
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup quick oats
12 oz chocolate
Preheat oven to 350-F.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and shortening with the sugars. Add the peanut butter and the eggs. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips. Scoop with a cookie scoop onto an ungreased cookie sheet and form into 1-1/2 inch balls. Bake for about 10 minutes. Let sit on cookie sheet for a few minutes, then remove to rack to cool.
Happy Baking!

Your cookies look very good with the white chips! I knew this recipe was a keeper when I saw it posted on Andi's blog, I can't wait to give it a try too! Bet your boys are great cookie critics!
ReplyDeleteI am low on peanut butter and chips! I will trust you on the white chips, but am going to go with special dark!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I used the first time and they were YUM! I do prefer dark chocolate....
DeleteI think you have read my mind....I have been looking and looking for a peanut butter oatmeal cookie. My mom gave me a bag of sugared raisins (picked out of her raisin bran cereal. Thanks mom!) and I've been wanting to find some place to put them.....In a peanut butter oatmeal cookie, of course.
ReplyDeleteGreat timing then! I have no idea why I didn't already have an oatmeal PB cookie recipe. But even I did, this one would beat it I'm sure!
