The Secret Recipe for Chocolate-Peanut Cookies

I think this recipe is the best combination of oatmeal, peanut butter and chocolate chips for great cookies.

Ingredients:
Dry ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup semi-chocolate chips
Wet ingredients:
1 egg
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease two baking sheets.
In a medium bowl, combine all the dry ingredients, except the chocolate chips. Set aside.
In another medium bowl, cream together white sugar, brown sugar and butter until smooth. Beat in egg, peanut butter, and vanilla until well blended. Beat in the dry ingredients until moistened. Mix in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon, drop mixture onto a prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven until the edges start to brown.

 

Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Remove the cookies and set them onto the wire racks and let completely cool before storing in a cookie jar.
