ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2/3 cup peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups oats
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Topping:
• 2 c. semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
• Peanut Butter Frosting:
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 3/4 cup peanut butter

directions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. 2 Cream together the butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, peanut butter, and vanilla until smooth.
3. 3 Mix in the oats, flour, salt, and baking soda.
4. 4 Spread the mixture evenly onto a cookie sheet.
5. 5 Bake at 350°F for 18 to 20 minutes. With a couple minutes left, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top, then bake 2 more minutes.
6. 6 Once the chips look shiny and melty, spread them into one smooth layer. Pop the pan in the freezer to firm up the chocolate fast.
7. 7 Make the frosting: whip the powdered sugar, peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla, and milk until light and fluffy.
8. 8 Spread the frosting over the chilled chocolate layer, slice, and serve.
