Forgive me for this…

I know that people are trying to cut out the sweets and eat healthy after all of that holiday food and cooking…..BUT

These are just too good not to share now!

I was on a cookie making streak over the holidays and these were one of the batches I made. I am loving cookies that involve peanut butter and add this to oatmeal–and I am sold!

Scale

Ingredients

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl beat together shortening, margarine, brown sugar, white sugar and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time until well blended.
Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly mix into the creamed mixture.
Mix in the oats and chocolate chips until just combined.
Place teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes (or until just golden brown). Cool and store in an airtight container (after testing a few of course).
