it's cookie time

does that title ring a bell?  here's that scene from troop beverly hills...one of mine and my seeesters fav's growing up.  :)

today, cookie time around here consisted of yours truly making outrageous chocolate chip cookies.  i tweaked it a bit, but here's the recipe...

1/2 c butter
1/2 c white sugar *
1/3 c packed brown sugar * 
1/2 c peanut butter *
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 c all purpose flour *
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c rolled oats

* i used 1/3 c white sugar; i made my own brown sugar by mixing 1 c white sugar with 2 tblsp of molasses; all natural laura scudder's smooth peanut butter; king arthur unbleached white whole wheat flour

preheat oven to 350 degrees.  cream together butter, white sugar & brown sugar until smooth.  stir in peanut butter, vanilla & egg until well blended.  combine flour, baking soda & salt; stir into batter just until moistened.  mix in the oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.  drop by tablespoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets.  bake for 10-12 minutes until edges start to brown.
