R

I must admit, choosing a picture for R has been more challenging than I thought. R is one of the most commonly used letters in the alphabet, isn't it? I don't know why it was so difficult for me.

I was talking with my dear friend MereMurHorn a little while ago and she mentioned that she was wanting my famous chocolate/peanut butter chip oatmeal cookie Recipe (yes, you read that correctly...these cookies contain chocolate chips, peanut butter chips AND oatmeal. THEY'RE FABULOUS.)

Hmmmm...recipe begins with an "r" right? Perfect.

Now, I don't want to toot my own horn here, but these cookies are good. Really really good. I used an oatmeal cookie recipe that I found in a cookbook, and I added the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips to make them even better. Leave the chips out if you prefer, but I can go ahead and tell you that you would be making a mistake.

ANYWAY...

Here's the yummy recipe:

Ingredients:

1 c. sugar

1 c. light brown sugar

1 c. vegetable shortening

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 c. flour

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. soda

2 1/4 c. oatmeal

1 bag peanut butter/chocolate chips (you can buy the bag that's got them combined. Of course you can also choose to use peanut butter OR chocolate instead of both of them).

Directions:

Combine sugars and shortening. Add eggs lightly beaten with vanilla. Add flour, salt, and soda. Mix well. Stir in oatmeal, and PB/chocolate chips. Spoon on cookie sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 8-10 minutes (you should eat some of the raw cookie dough before the last step).

It's super easy, and I promise they're some of the best cookies you'll ever put in your mouth!

Enjoy!
