Chewy Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

Who doesn't like chocolate chip cookies? Only weirdos right. Right... However if you are a weirdo who doesn't like the wonders of melty chocolate and chewy buttery cookie awesomeness than hopefully you will like this cookie. Michael isn't a big chocolate fan and has declared the oatmeal cookie with peanut butter chips the world's greatest cookie. I beg to differ, seeing as it can't be the best cookie when the classic chocolate chip cookie is in fact the world's best. I will say that this is a really good cookie, it is tasty and chewy and soft and a little bit melty from the peanut butter just plain GOOD. If you can't have peanut products you could change it out for the more classic raisin or a more daring currant or cranberry. So here you go hope you like it. :)

Ingredients

1 stick of softened butter

2/3 cup brown sugar packed

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup peanut butter chips

Preheat oven to 350'

In a mixer or by hand if you are strong beat together the butter and sugar until lighter in color and creamy.

Add in egg and vanilla and stir until combined

Meanwhile in a large bowl sift together the flour, soda, and salt. Then add in the rolled oats and mix thoroughly. 

Add the wet mixture to the dry and combine with wooden spoon by hand. (Don't try and mix them in with a mixer because it will break apart the oats) After all of the flour is no longer visible add in the peanut butter chips and fold them lightly into the batter. 

Let chill in the fridge for at least 5-10 minutes then scoop onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly toasty.

Enjoy!
