Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love sharing recipes with others and vice versa.  I received this recipe from a former co-worker and these cookies are great!  These are slightly reminiscent of the peanut butter chocolate chip cookies that I have been making for years.  The oatmeal is a great addition!

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup butter

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or chopped peanuts)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda and set aside.

Beat butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add vanilla extract.  Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats and chips (or peanuts). Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. 

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
