Prize Winning Chocolate Chip Cookies

I got this from a sister in our the Brindisi Branch when we lived in Italy. It never disappoints!

2 sticks butter or margarine

½ cup white sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 ½ cups oatmeal

1 cup brown sugar (packed)

½ cup peanut butter

Use instructions on package of the chocolate chips for chocolate chip cookies. Use the measurements here instead of the ones on the package. Add peanut butter to sugar/butter mixture. Add the oatmeal with the flour.

Then add any or all:

½ cup chopped nuts

½ cup raisins

½ cup coconut flakes

6 oz. package chocolate chips
