These are the most universal cookie I know of. Chocolate chip, peanut butter and oatmeal rolled into one. Delicious! I usually have a cookie marathon and bake all of the above cookies and put them in the freezer but sometimes one batch of cookies is all you have time for and this cookie fits the bill perfectly.
Actually, we call these MeMaw Cookies because my mother-in-law baked them. She was the head of the Holland Hall Primary School and they made these in the cafeteria for special occassions. This is the only cookie I ever remember her baking so they had to be MeMaw's Cookies. It makes a lot of cookies so they are great for taking to a cookout or housewarming or cookie exchange.
Here are the ingredients. As you can see, there is no flour. They come together very quickly. Of course you start by creaming the butter, adding the sugar and eggs, then add the peanut butter and baking soda.
Yes, that is an empty jar! You use the entire 18 oz jar of peanut butter.
You add the oatneal and the chocolate chips and then you sample the cookie dough. Nothing better than cookie dough. If it looks too soft, feel free to add 1/4 cup or more of oatmeal.
As you can see, 1 1/2 dozen small cookies fit nicely with plenty of room to spread. The larger cookie you can fit 13 cookies with plenty of room.
This pic best demonstrates the difference in size. My husband takes cookies for dessert and I make the bigger ones for him.
Of course, I wish I had someone to help clean up the mess. But when all is said and done it is well worth making the mess because the cookies are so delicious!
Happy Eating!
