Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Source: Six Sisters' Stuff (I also saw an almost identical, just doubled, version of this recipe on Mel's Kitchen Cafe)

Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup oats (quick or old fashioned) (I used quick)
2 cups milk chocolate chips (I used less - probably not even a cup, though I didn't really measure - and semisweet, as always)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugars.  Stir in peanut butter, vanilla and egg until well combined.  Add flour, baking soda and salt.  Fold in oats and chocolate chips and mix until combined.  Roll into 1" balls and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.  Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.  (I didn't really follow the order in these directions - instead I creamed the butter, sugars, egg and peanut butter with an electric mixer.  Then I added the salt, vanilla and baking soda and beat it again for a couple seconds.  Then I stirred in the oats and flour.  And finally folded in the chocolate chips.  They turned out great, so apparently the order doesn't matter.  ;)

Notes:
I have really been wanting some chocolate chip cookies this week, but I knew it would be bad news if I made them early in the week since I've been home all by myself for the past few days, so I made myself wait till Friday afternoon to whip some up.  I decided to try a recipe I've had pinned for a long time now, and all week I've been dreaming about the peanut butter and oatmeal chocolate chip combination I found.  They make the house smell amazing while cooking, and they taste divine, especially while they're still a little warm and with a mug of cold milk.  Mmmhmmm.  This is where it's at!  (Gregg better get home quick to help me out, because even though I waited all week, they might not last long!)
