Judy/AZ 05:33:19 OATMEAL PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
3/4 cup peanut butter
2 large eggs
a 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, grated

In a food processor pulse 1 cup oats until ground fine. In a large bowl stir together ground oats, remaining 1/2 cup whole oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy and beat in vanilla and peanut butter. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and gradually beat in flour mixture. Add chocolate chips and grated chocolate, beating just until combined. Chill cookie dough, covered, at least 2 hours and up to 1 week.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Form rounded tablespoons of dough into balls and arrange about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten balls slightly.
Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven 15 minutes, or until just pale golden. Cool cookies on baking sheet 5 minutes and transfer to racks to cool completely.
Makes about 60 cookies.

Recipe By :posted by darbyrose

2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Cream the butter and sugar. Add the melted chocolate and then add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Sprinkle the baking soda over mixture and blend in. Blend in flour. Stir in all the chips. The dough will be soft and sticky. Place dough by rounded tablespoons 1" apart on cookie sheets that are either lightly greased or lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Cookies may not appear done. Let them cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before removing to a rack. You then have the horrible task of eating 1 or 2 cookies to make sure your first batch is baked to the desired doneness. We all have our crosses to bear.....
This recipe doubles easily - I ALWAYS double it - and the cookies freeze quite well.
