Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies




Recipe from back of a bag of flour

Chocolate!  Peanut butter!  Oatmeal!  Oh my!  This is one of our family's MOST important recipes and it's Kate's absolute favorite cookie recipe.

It was given to me by my mom.  One day, I was visiting her and she handed it to me.  She had cut it off from the back of a bag of flour.  You never know where you'll find a great recipe.

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup quick-cooking or regular oats
2 cups (12-ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside.

On medium speed in an electric mixer, beat butter, peanut butter, granulated and brown sugars,  vanilla, and eggs in a medium bowl until well blended.  

On low speed, gradually add the flour mixture just until combined.  Stir in the oats and the chocolate chips.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown.  Cool 1 minute before removing from the cookie sheets.  Store in a sealed container at room temperature.
