Here’s a different version of the traditional favorite cookie that I think is especially good.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

1. In a bowl, cream butter and sugars; beat in peanut butter, egg and vanilla. Combine flour, oats, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
2. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute before removing to a wire rack.

Yield: 2 dozen.
