C :: Week 20 :: Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

So I've been in search for a new cookie recipe for a while.  A recipe that uses ingredients that I have and doesn't require anything funky.  And I found this one from Love Veggies and Yoga.  The first time I made them they were a little too sweet.  So I've adjusted the ingredients to my liking, and now they taste so good!

1/2 cup butter, softened to room temp
1 c brown sugar
- beat these until light and fluffy

1/3 cup peanut butter
- add & mix in

1 egg + 1 yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons - 1 tablespoon of milk (it helps the batter not to be too dry)
- stir in

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup old fashioned whole oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
- stir in slowly.  Yum!

1 cup chocolate chips
optional: 1/2 cup peanut butter chips, pecans
- add chocolate chips.  If you are feeling crazy, chopped pecans are good too!!!

Yum!!!  Keep the recipe!!!  It's so good!
