Well since the first post was a random cookie thought...

...this one will just be pure cookies! Came across this recipe when I was looking for oatmeal cookie recipes. Because we, at the time, had oatmeal we weren't using and I wanted to use it up before it went bad. Regular oatmeal cookie are good but these ones were so much better.

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup each flour and quick cooking oats
1/2 cup golden raisins (optional)

Heat oven to 350°F. Have cookie sheets ready.

In a large bowl with mixer on medium speed, beat butter and peanut butter until creamy. Add sugars, baking powder and baking soda; beat until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until well blended. With mixer on low speed, beat in flour and oats just until blended. Stir in raisins.

Roll level measuring TBSP of dough into 1 1/4" balls. Place 1 1/2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with tines of fork or potato masher. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheet 1 minute before removing to wire rack to cool completely.
