BAKING Part Two

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

1/2 C margarine, softened
1/2 C peanut butter
1/3 C sugar
1/3 C brown sugar, packed
1/2 t baking soda
1 egg
1/2 t vanilla
1 C all purpose flour
1 C oats
1 C chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large mixing bowl, beat margarine and peanut butter on medium speed until combined.  Add sugar, brown sugar and soda.  Beat until combined, about 3 minutes.  Beat in egg and vanilla.  Add flour and oats.  Mix well.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Drob by teaspoons on ungreased baking sheet. (to help them flatten, I press with fork)  Bake 10-11 minutes til edges are golden.  Let stand on sheet for 1 minute, move to wire rack to cool. 

I usually double this recipe which yields 5 to 6 dozen cookies!
