Yummy Chunky Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies


If you love oatmeal and peanut butter cookies ... This receipe makes the best cookies you will ever put into your mouth! SO good ... I made them with milk chocolate chips and butterscotch chips (a whole bag of each) ... and they were a hit in primary, at work, at home, etc ... and NO FLOUR!!! I couldn't believe it ... but they were great!

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups chunk-style peanut butter
6 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
1 bag of chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
Additional 1-1/2 c. of one of the following: butterscotch chips, toffee bits, or plain M&M candies
2 1/2 tsp. baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, beat together butter, sugar and brown sugar. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add peanut butter; mix well. In a separate large bowl, stir together oats, chocolate chips, (other 1-1/2 c. of whatever yummy chip you want) and baking soda. Combine peanut butter mixture and oats. Drop by tablespoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet before removing to wire rack. Store tightly covered. Makes 6 dozen. These can also be made into large cookies by dropping onto cookie sheet with 1/4 cup measuring cup. Bake 10 to 12 minutes for large cookies.
