Peanut Butter & Oatmeal Cookies

Pamela made some deeelicious cookies this weekend.
Cub and I tried to stay out of the kitchen as much as possible just so we wouldn't eat the cookie dough before they were baked.

Preheat oven 350

Cream together ---
1 1/4 cups Peanut Butter (Sesame/Cashew ... whatever)
1/2 cup Butter

Then add ---
1 cup Brown sugar
1 cup plain sugar

Once this is all incorporated, stick your finger in and taste ... mmm , maybe we should just stop here and get out the spoons ... nonono .. must continue.

Ok , add ---
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

In a separate container mix ---
1 cup WW pastry flour (dont have it? Me neither, use AP flour instead)
1/4 cup Wheat Germ (it's in the back of your fridge, behind the milk)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
3 cups oats (regular, quick, just not instant)

Pour the dry into the wet and stir for a few secs. Get everything wet. Roll into balls (a bit smaller than Ping-Pong Balls), put on the tray and impress with a fork.

Bake for about 10 minutes.

Be sure to send the kids outside before the first batch comes out. Eat those quickly, with a glass of milk hunched over the hot tray ... Hey! It's only fair! You baked! All the kids did was eat the dough and try to pour all the vanilla in.

We did make it. I had all six of the kids on the trip rolling lil' balls of peanutty-oat goodness. We made them a little too small I think, but they were a major hit.
