peanut butter + oatmeal cookies


i made some peanut butter cookies the other day (after having an amazing one at caffe d'arte in seattle), and then i felt like adding in some oatmeal, so i made another batch....and now i just have way too many cookies. but anyways, here is the recipe. (i personally liked the batch without oatmeal better...less chewing required!)

ingredients:
1 cup butter (cold)
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup peanut butter
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups oats

directions:
1. cream together the butter + sugars until smooth.
2. beat in the eggs, peanut butter and vanilla at medium speed until smooth.
3. combine the flour, baking soda and salt before stirring into the peanut butter mixture.
4. stir in oats until just combined.
5. refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
6. drop by rounded spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
7. bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes until just light brown.
