Created by KittenCal on January 26, 2014

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar (preferably a mixture of dark and light brown sugar)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (OR 2 teaspoons maple extract OR 3-4 teaspoons white rum, which is what I use)
1 large egg
1/2 cup peanut butter (use commercial peanut butter, you can use a little more if you like)

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate baking chips (or half a 300 gram package mini chips)

Step 3: In a medium bowl cream the butter with both sugars and vanilla until well blended (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 4: Add in egg and peanut butter; beat until well blended.
Step 5: In a small bowl combine the flour with baking soda and salt then add to the creamed mixture and beat on low speed until just blended.
Step 6: Mix in the oatmeal until combined then mix in the chocolate chips.
Step 7: Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.
