Good Cookies

I'll bet you never thought you'd see anything like this on this blog. Well, even good eaters have those times when they cave. Ours was the other night when we found a few ingredients lurking around our house-sitting home. Namely, we found chocolate chips. Everything else, you'll note, is very normal for us. On with the show:

Prep time: 10 minutes
Makes: 12-15 cookies

1/2 cup margarine (or butter)
2 heaping spoonfuls (or dollops, for the classy among us) natural peanut butter
1 package milk chocolate chips
2 cups (give or take) rolled oats

1) Melt margarine in medium saucepan over low heat.

2) Add peanut butter to melted margarine, stirring often, until melted and blended together. (Note: Do not cheat on peanut butter! These turn out so well because they're completely delicious without being overly rich. Trust me; you'll LOVE these the way they are.)

3) Add chocolate chips to mixture. Stir often until melted and well blended. Remove from heat. Let it sit for five minutes.

4) Once the mixture has set a little, add the oats. Stir until oats are evenly coated.

5) With a large spoon, divide the mixture into cookies on wax paper. Chill and serve. Enjoy with great delight.

(Note: You can play around with the measurements. We did not measure; we just have an eye for approximation.)
