Soft Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

GIANT, soft, and chewy peanut butter oatmeal cookies.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• ½ cup rolled oats
• 1 cup peanut butter chips
• Reese’s pieces (I used mini)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
2. In the bowl of your mixer cream butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
3. Add vanilla and eggs one at a time, then incorporate the dry ingredients. Slowly add oats and peanut butter chips.
4. Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for about 15 minutes. I just put in the whole mixer bowl.
5. Preheat oven to 350 F
6. Using a large cookie scoop (3 Tablespoons) drop dough onto a plate of mini Reese’s Pieces and form into a thick cookie disc by smashing down the dough ball a bit. I fit 6 cookies to a baking sheet.
7. Bake for 10 minutes.

Oh yeah, and these cookies are bigger than my hand. Enjoy! ^_^

NOTES:

• You can make regular-sized cookies with a 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop (bake for about 7 minutes).
• This made a HUGE batch of cookies. If you are a normal person you will probably want to halve this recipe.
