Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies


It's been a while since I've posted a recipe and I was craving peanut butter and oats, plus I needed a treat for work. So, I found this peanut butter oatmeal cookie recipe on allrecipes.com. There were a couple of alterations but this is what I ended up with.

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

1/2 c butter, softened
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c 2 T sugar
1/2 c peanut butter
1 egg
3/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c oats

Preheat oven to 350°. Mix butter, sugars and peanut butter. Add egg. Mix in flour, baking soda and salt. Add oats. Bake 10-15 minutes.

I really liked the cookies. The changes from the original recipe were substituting butter for the shortening and margarine, and doubling the amount of oats. This recipe only makes 2 dozen cookies, so it can be easily doubled if you need more cookies.
