Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup sugar white
  • 1 ½ tablespoon vanilla
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups peanut butter
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour Can substitute more white flour.
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups oatmeal old fashioned works best
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉
  • Spray 13 x 9 pan
  • Cream butter, all sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Sugar should be dissolved (3-4 minutes on medium)
  • Add peanut butter and eggs. Mix until combined.
  • Gently mix in baking soda into flour. Mix flour in stages into peanut better mixture.
  • Add 2 cups of oatmeal one cup at a time and mix. Will be a stiff dough and you may have to mix by hand at the end.
  • Add chocolate chips. Stir in by hand.
  • Dump into your baking dish and spread evenly. It's a thick and stiff dough.
  • Bake 22-25 minutes, being careful not to overbake.
  • ***I test the center with a toothpick or small wooden skewer. It's ready when the skewer comes out with just a little crumb type mix on it (vs. wet dough). You don't want to bake until it comes out clean because then it may end up dry. Center may sink a little when it cools.
