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.
