As a rule, I try to avoid facebook. But every once in a while I am glad that I logged on. I was really glad last week because my friend, Jill, posted a cookie recipe, and I think you all know by now that I love trying new recipes. I hope she doesn't mind if I share it here. These were thick and delicious and so satisfying.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups flour (I used half white whole wheat)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 to 1 1/2 cups oats
2 cups chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Cream butter and sugars til light and fluffy. Add peanut butter and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in oats and chocolate chips.
Bake for 12 minutes, or until starting to very lightly brown.

I'm a lurker, but I had to post to say that I made these today, and they hit just the spot of dessert neediness. And because (thanks to your note!) I made them half whole wheat, they were also very filling and self satisfying, which meant I stopped after three. For me that's great, because I have a bad habit of never stopping eating cookies, because they are each individually so small... And I had even forgotten they were part whole wheat until after I'd eaten them, which is great because that means they didn't have that grittiness that whole wheat can sometimes give. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteWe have a similar recipe we love... but no oats. I'll have to dust it off. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteJust made these for dinner with friends tomorrow night. Of course I had to test one and yum! It's cold, cold, cold here and these are going to be the perfect after school snack for my girls....we just might need to make another batch for tomorrow. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAh, these sound so good. I can't wait to try these. Chocolate, peanut butter and oats are three of my favorite things. Mmmm.
