Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Well, that's a mouthful, I know. Once you make these cookies, you will have your mouth full as well. They are truly my most favorite, perfect cookie. They sound like they could be a bit overwhelming with all those strong ingredients together, but they're in just the perfect proportion to be amazing. You can divide this recipe in half if you only want about 24ish cookies, but they're good enough that you might as well make it as written ;-)

-2 c. flour
-2 t. baking soda
-1/2 t. salt
-2 sticks butter, room temp
-1 c. peanut butter
-1 c. sugar
-2/3 c. brown sugar
-1 t. vanilla extract
-2 egg
-1 c. Old Fashioned oats (not quick oats)
-2 c. chocolate chips (use whatever kind you like-dark, milk, semi sweet. I use milk chocolate)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, oats, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of a mixer (or a bowl you can use a hand mixer in), beat the butter and sugars together until creamy. Add peanut butter and beat until smooth. Add vanilla and eggs and beat until combined. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix well. Fold in chocolate chips. Using a medium cookie dough scoop, drop onto a baking stone or cookie sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes. Let cool just a couple minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Makes 50-55 cookies.

Right out of the oven- they'll still be kinda puffy
