My husband, Sence, was hinting (not so subtly) that he wanted peanut butter cookies, but I wanted something chocolate-y, so this is my compromise: dark chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal cookies.
1 cup quick oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
dark chocolate chips, as desired
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, beat butter and peanut butter together with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in both sugars, then the eggs and vanilla until well blended.
In a small bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Slowly add dry mixture to the wet mixture until blended evenly. Add the chocolate chips.
Drop dough by the rounded spoonful on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 13 minutes, or until slightly golden. Remove the cookies to a wire rack and cool.
Makes 3 approximately 3 dozen.
The boys are hovering over them on the counter, eyes wide, chocolate moustaches...
