Sweet Tooth Tuesdays: Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

So I found a recipe that combines my 3 favorite cookies: oatmeal chocolate chip, peanut butter chocolate chip, and regular chocolate chip =)  Ok....pretty much anything with chocolate is my favorite...It had been awhile since I had made cookies. I am trying to be a good girl and lose that fabulous baby weight.(but she is totally worth that extra 10 pounds I have right now!!)  The original can be found at this yummy blog: Averie Cooks

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

1/2 c butter, softened to room temperature
1 1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c white sugar
1/3 c peanut butter
1 egg + 1 yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 c all-purpose flour
1 c old fashioned whole oats
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 c chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)

Directions:
Combine room-temperature softened butter with the sugars and stir.
Then stir in the peanut butter.
Add the egg + yolk and vanilla extract, and stir.
Then add the oats, baking soda, and flour (slowly) and stir.
Finally, add the chocolate chips.

Scoop onto a cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Bake at 325F for approximately 10-12 minutes.  The cookies will look pretty raw even at 12 minutes and that’s ok.  Take them out and let the sit and cool well before eating.

My little guy was not so patiently waiting for them to cool so he could snatch one up =)

They are super yummy!  And not overpoweringly sweet because the peanut butter knocks the sweetness down a bit.  These will satisfy any craving....but it may take 1 or 2.....or 5 in my case =)
