Peanut Butter Oatmeal Rounds from Better Homes and Garden Cookbook

3/4 cup butter

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup peanut butter chips, chocolate chips or chopped peanuts (I used a full bag of peanut butter chips, but I’m addicted)

1) In a large mixing bowl beat butter and peanut butter with electric mixer on medium for about 30 seconds or until combined.  Add sugar, brown sugar, baking soda and baking powder.  Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.  Beat in egg and vanilla until combined.  Beat in as much flour as you can and stir in the rest.  Stir in the rolled oats and chips/ nuts.

2) Drop dough by rounded tsp. 2 inches apart on a ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.  Transfer to rack and let cool.

Stay tuned, Invisible Friends!  Tomorrow we have a new Butterfly Dress story and Saturday, a new Comfort and Whimsy!

    If you also add in some chunked chocolates pieces for me…I’ll devour those cookies in no time at all. I do enjoy peanut butter…however, in moderation is where I’m at ;o) Soon I’ll be sharing a frozen pie dessert I have a feeling you’ll like very much ;o) It’s got your favourite in it too!

    Thanks for sharing a recipe I didn’t have in my repertoire.

    Ciao for now and flavourful wishes,

    I bought my daughter that cookbook for Christmas, or maybe Santa did. I get confused. I’ll have to try peanut butter oatmeal cookies. But my no bake cookies have oatmeal and peanut butter, and they are wonderful! Not as pretty as yours, but no one’s perfect, right?

    And though I seldom make cookies, I should definitely put aside some time for those.
