My grandchildren would do just about anything for one of these cookies. Packed with chocolate chips and peanuts, they're made with oats and whole wheat flour, so I don't mind them nibbling on them. —Lynore Derkson, Airdrie, Alberta
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups packed brown sugar
3 eggs
3 tablespoons half-and-half cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups quick-cooking oats

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package (12 ounces) miniature semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups coarsely chopped peanuts
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the cream and vanilla.
2. In a blender or food processor, process oats until finely ground. Combine oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and peanuts.
