Colossal Cookies
These oatmeal cookies are unbelievably good. They’re basically a “healthy” peanut butter cup – at least that’s what I keep telling myself.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 cups Quaker quick oats
- 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky, whichever you prefer)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
HOW TO MAKE IT
- Using a mixer, cream the margarine or butter and sugars
- Add the eggs and vanilla; and then the peanut butter
- In a separate bowl, combine the oats and baking soda – then add them to the mixing bowl
- Fold in the chocolate chips
- Form 1/4 cup of the cookie dough into round dough balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet 4 inches apart (this will make a fairly large cookie, if you desire smaller cookies only use a spoonful of dough and place 2 inches apart)
- Flatten the dough balls a bit with your fingertips
- Bake at 350°F for 10-12 mins
