Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

Now that we're all moved into our new New York City apartment, I needed to cover the "new apartment" smell. What better scent is there to create than fresh cookies! These cookies are a combination of an old Martha Stewart recipe for oatmeal cookies with some ingredients added and some taken out. Makes 24 cookies

Ingredients
1 stick butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar mixture
-6 tbsp light brown sugar
-6 tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
3/4 cups all purpose whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp peanut butter
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup old fashioned oats (not quick)
a dash of cinnamon

Preheat oven to 325 F
In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt
In a mixer combine butter, water, and sugar on medium high until smooth
Bring speed down to low
Add eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon
Once combined, add peanut butter then flour mixture
Once it's smooth, add oats and chocolate chips

Plop teaspoon sized dough balls onto a non-stick cookie sheet
*if you make them bigger they don't bake well, I found that the center was undercooked and outside was overcooked when I tried to make them tablespoon sized

Bake for about 10-12 minutes when golden on the outside

Eat with a glass of milk!
