Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
This may very well be Hubby's favorite cookie and I think I have finally gotten it down to a science. Hubby always wipes these out, as do most relatives, friends, church families and co-workers, so if you are looking to take these somewhere and come home with a few leftovers, might ought to just go ahead and make a second batch.
A few notes about making these cookies:
1. If the cookies look dull when you start to drop them, you have left them in the boil for too long. They will be probably be dry and crumbly. These cookies should have a shiny quality to them.
2. Do NOT double this recipe. It hardly ever works out well. Cook each batch separately. If you want to use the same pan, allow to completely cool and wash all ingredients out before starting a new batch. Any leftover ingredients in your pan will be overcooked and if the pan is already hot, it will not cook the proper amount of time.
3. Allow to cool on wax paper COMPLETELY before you move them. The cookies will be really soft for a while after you drop them. If you move them before they are ready, they will break apart and stick together if you stack them. They need time to become cold and allow the chocolate to harden. I usually allow several hours for this, so if I need them for an event, I cook them the day before.
4. In a sealed container, these cookies will stay moist for over a week, but trust me, they will never make it that long.
