- Yields:
-
48-60 cookies
- Serves:
- 20
ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
- 2 1⁄2 cups flour (expect to add more or less to get the right consistency)
- 2 cups chocolate chips (more or less, depending on your preferences)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cream butter, sugars and eggs. An electric mixer makes this easier, of course.
- Add vanilla and mix.
- Add peanut butter and mix until the sugars have dissolved. There should be very little or no grittiness left. This should take only a few minutes.
- Sprinkle in baking soda and salt, making sure they mix throughout.
- Add rolled oats and mix just until blended.
- Remove bowl from mixer and stir flour in a cup or so at a time. I like a "medium" dough -- soft enough that I can roll it but not so soft that it sticks to my hands. If you like flatter cookies that spread out more, you might cut back on the flour. If you like rounder cookies, you might add a little more flour.
- When the dough is the consistency you prefer, stir in the chocolate chips. If DH weren't a nut hater, I'd stir in a cup of walnuts or pecans here, too.
- Form balls (or drop dough) of approximately heaping tablespoons size onto an ungreased cookie sheet, flattening the balls or blobs of dough slightly.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes. I like to pull them right after the cookies have risen to their highest point and then "fallen."
- I hope you enjoy them!

Oh man. I used applejuice instead of sauce. Not sure if it would be the leading problem in the soft bland spounge cookies I made but it was about my only drivitive. Oh also I used unsalted nuts. I had more luck with the standard recipie, but imagine these things might be healthier. ...or maybe not I dont know they looked like tuna fish as dough with all the soy milk I had to add. Not blaming the author just had bad luck.

5 Million Star Recipe! OMG - these truly are delcious & beyond. They're so good. I'm usually not even a fan of PB & chocolate together that much, yet the combo with the Oatmeal & everything makes them unbelievably good. I added approx 1 C. chopped peanuts to mine since I only had creamy PB on hand. Also used a bit of the PB/Chocolate Swirl chips (Nestle) to put on top - cause I had some to use up on the 1st couple batches I baked. They're really tasty, AWESOME without though too. <br/><br/>Have a feeling once my husband has a taste they won't last long. Thank you for sharing the great recipe. Will definitely be baking them again, & again!
