  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 10 ounces milk chocolate chips (I used Ghiradelli)

  • 3-4 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts or mixed nuts

Instructions

  • Cream 1/2 cup peanut butter, butter and sugars together. Add egg and vanilla. Add all dry ingredients, blending well. Spread dough into a buttered 9x13-inch pan and bake at 350 degrees F. for 20-25 minutes.
