Directions

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• In small bowl, mix together the oats and baking soda; set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth, about 3 minutes. Mix in dry ingredients with a wooden spoon, then gently fold in chocolate chips.
• Roll dough into 2-inch balls and place onto cookie sheet 2 inches apart, then lightly flatten the top of the cookie with your hand.
• Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes and remove when edges barely begin to turn a golden brown. The cookies may look a little underdone, but they will continue to cook once you remove them from the oven. Cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Makes about 20 cookies.
