This was adaptated from a cook book where each chapter was dedicated to special guest - in this case for the cookie chapter it was Mother Goose. When made with whole wheat pastry flour and leaving out the chocolate chips, I also refer to these as better than Cheerios for breakfast cookies . My kids always loved them, especially with the chocolate chips! You can use smooth or chunky p'nut butter, and quick or old fashioned oats. These are a firm cookie, great for sack lunches. Cooking time is per cookie sheet. Ingredients:
1/2 cup peanut butter |
1/4 cup butter |
1/4 cup shortening |
1 1/4 cups brown sugar, firmly packed |
1 egg |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (you can sub all purpose) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 cup oats |
chopped nuts |
raisins or dry cranberries |
chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Beat together first 4 ingredients until creamy, add egg and vanilla; beat well.
3. Stir together flour, salt, baking powder, and salt, add to creamed mixture and mix well.
4. Stir in oats and any add-ins.
5. form into 1 balls ( a small scoop helps) and place on ungreased baking sheets.
6. Bake 12-14 minutes.
7. Note Don't use regular whole wheat flour the cookies will be too dry.
