Today I decided to bake some cookies. I opened up my cookie cookbook and turned to a neat recipe that I customized based on my liking.
If I were to bake these cookies again, I’d divide the recipe in half because I was able to make 3 dozen cookies and that’s a lot. I also wouldn’t add the cinnamon again because it’s pretty noticeable in the cookies. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 3 cups regular or quick cooking oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat butter and peanut butter on high for 30 seconds
- Add sugars, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, beating ingredients in.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla
- Slowly add in the flour
- Stir in oats and chocolate chips
- Place balls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes
- Cool for 2 minutes
