Marathon Training Cookies!

Aka Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocoate Chip Cookies

I was looking for a cookie that had a bit of nutritional punch. My sweetie is doing a lot of running right now and the running hungries beg for a cookie like this. Protein from the peanut butter, fiber and complex carbs from the oats, and get-in-my-mouthiness from the chocolate. I found the recipe at Bake or Break and the only modification was to slightly decrease the sugar and increase the salt. Nom Nom Noms.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups AP Flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup peanut butter (I used Crunchy)
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp vanilla extract
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Method:
Preheat oven to 350F and line baking tray with silpat
Whisk together first 4 ingredients in separate bowl
Cream butter and sugars together in a Kitchen Aid until light and fluffy
Mix in Peanut butter thoroughly then add eggs and vanilla extract
Add flour mixture until just combined. Mix in chocolate chips by hand.
Using an ice cream scoop portion out even amounts of dough
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are just beginning to brown
Cool on tray for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy after a nice long run :)
