Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I wanted to make something new so I visited my old friend Dr. Google. He led me to this recipe that produced some super yummy cookies! I used my good ol' 10-year old hand mixer for the majority of the mixing. While combining the wet and dry ingredients it started struggling so I gave it up and mixed by hand.


Ingredients
* 1 cup butter
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
* 1 cup smooth peanut butter
* 2 large eggs
* 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
* 2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
* 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium bowl with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed, cream butter and sugars until smooth. Add peanut butter and mix until combined; then add eggs and vanilla, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.

2. In another medium bowl, whisk together oats, flour, and baking soda. Add to butter mixture and mix on low until well incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.

3. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons 1 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, switching position of pans halfway through baking, or until lightly browned but still soft in the center. Transfer cookies to racks to cool.
