Ingredients

3/4 cup butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 eggs

3/4 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup water

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 1/4 cups rolled oats

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Possible variations: add 1 cup rice krispies, use 1/4 cup less oats, crunchy v. creamy peanut butter

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream together butter and sugars. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add peanut butter, water, vanilla and cinnamon. Combine flour and baking soda in a separate bowl and add to the creamed mixture. Finally, add oats and chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Be careful of spacing; these cookies expand to a nice size.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are slightly browned. Remove to cool on wire racks or on wax paper.
