Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies: (makes 2 dozen)

2 sticks of butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1 3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

3 cups all purpose flour, sifted

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup whole rolled oats

1 lb. chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugars together until light. Continue mixing while adding eggs one at a time. (make sure each egg is mixed well before adding the other.) Add vanilla and mix. Add peanut butter and mix.

In another bowl, combine flour, soda and salt, and combine with whisk.

While machine on low, or while using a hand mixer on low, slowly add the flour to wet ingredients.  Mix until just combined, being careful not to over mix.  With a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the oats and chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
