Pb N Oat Chip Cookies

The texture of these lightened up cookies is what i love most about them, of course the mini-chocolate chips comes in a close second! while still warm, the peanut butter taste is very light - although it really comes through when cookies are completely cooled. recipe is easily doubled or tripled.

Steps

Pre-heat oven to 350 and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream sugars , peanut butter and butter until light and fluffy - on medium speed if using a stand mixer.

Add egg whites , one at a time , and then vanilla , mixing on medium speed until thoroughly combined.

Turn mixer off.

Combine flour , oats and baking soda.

With your mixer on low , slowly add flour mixture until completely mixed.

Stir in mini-chocolate chips and , if using , coconut.

Drop by tablespoons onto baking sheets.

These do not spread , if you like flat cookies , use bottom of glass or fork to smash cookies flat.

I like mine mound shaped from the cookie scoop.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are just golden brown.
