today was a rainy and kind of chilly day, so i decided to stay in and bake some cookies before work. i didn't want to go out and buy ingredients, so i worked with what i had and came up with delicious peanut butter oatmeal cookies.

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup peanut butter (crunchy or regular)



preheat oven to 350 degrees. line baking sheet with parchment paper. in medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking soda and salt. in a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars. beat in egg and vanilla until smooth, then beat in peanut butter. blend in the flour mixture until the dough comes together.
