Oatmeal peanut butter, chocolate chip cookies

Here is another new cookie recipe I found.  This one comes from brown eyed baker.  She had lots of cookie recipes that would be fun to try.  These interested me because they were a bit of everything.  Oatmeal, chocolate chips, and peanut butter.  They were great.  My problem with trying to judge a cookie is that I'm a cookie monster.  They are a total weakness of mine.  These were wonderful cookies, but they had so little oatmeal, I'm not sure you can call them and oatmeal cookie.  I also have to say I liked the chocolate chip cookies I tried the other day better than these, but that is not to say they were bad.  They are delicious.  I just liked the other ones a bit better.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2.  Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
  3. On medium speed, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat to combine. On low speed, gradually add the flour until just combined. Stir in the oats, and then the chocolate chips.
  4. Use a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons) and drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden. Cool completely on the baking sheet and then store in an airtight container at room temperature.
