BASKETBALL TEAM COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream together peanut butter, butter, white and brown sugar. If you don't use crunchy peanut butter, I would suggest adding in salted peanuts when you mix in the chocolate chips.
• Add eggs and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy.
• Combine oats, flour and baking soda, and stir into peanut butter mixture.
• Add chocolate chips. If the dough is still really sticky, add in a little more flour.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Place in oven at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown, do NOT overcook these.
• Cool on rack.
