Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

About six years ago, these were some of my favorite cookies.  I remember making them a few times when I was pregnant with my now 6-year old; the last time being the day before I went into labor.  Recently, I decided to revive this recipe and make it again.  Well, actually, "recently" means back in December.  See my Christmas table cloth in the pic?  Lol.  Sometimes it takes me a long time to get around to blogging about something.  The cookies were still as yummy as I remembered them.

3/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup white sugar

3/4 cup peanut butter

1egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

 

1.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

 

2.  In a large bowl (or a stand mixer), cream together the butter, brown sugar, white sugar and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, wheat flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the peanut butter mixture. Finally, mix in the oats and chocolate chips. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

 

3.  Bake for 8 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are golden. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
