These cookies are one of Southern Lady’s favorites. This is an Amish recipe from a cookbook that is at least 30 years old. I make these cookies often because my 4 year old grandson just loves them!
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup peanut butter (I use crunchy)
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 cups quick uncooked oats
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Beat margarine, peanut butter and sugars together until creamy. Blend in eggs, milk, and vanilla. Add flour, soda, and salt to the creamed mixture. Blend well. Stir in oats and chocolate chips. Drop by spoonsfuls (I roll mine into balls with my hands about the size of a walnut and place the ball unmashed) onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in moderate oven 350 degrees about 15 minutes. (I like the tops brown, so I usually turn on the broiler for about two minutes before taking out of the oven). Makes about 3 dozen cookies. Enjoy! They won’t last long!

I’m enjoying your new blog page. I made one of your dishes for supper last week. The Hot Chicken Salad. Really Good. Keep up the good work.
This page is very attractive.
Oh wow I LOVE oatmeal cookies!!!
Mmmm…those look tasty, Judy. Your recipe is very similar to one of our favorites, although I’ve never tried the peanut butter in it. But I will now!
I’m in the mood to make cookies today…hmmmm! these sound so good.

Oh my those cookies look good!! I have developed a sweet tooth for oatmeal cookies. I do have to admit I do use instant grits. Usually it is just me having them for breakfast. I do have some regular ones, though.
We have some Amish families in Md Tn. I’ve had some of their baking before and it was delicious! I like to make the Amish Friendship Bread, as well.
I just noticed your Erma Bombeck quote. My Southern Mom is a big fan of Ms. Erma (RIP). The quote made me smile.
Simply delicious recipe!Iam more than super excited to try these and we were thrilled to see this recipe.Thanks for the great treats!
Yum Judy these seem like my sort of cookie – coming up soon!

Treats indeed!
These oatmeal cookies look fantastic! I’ll add some raisins for mine!
I love oatmeal and I’m always looking for new recipes to use it in..
this one sounds like my kind of cookie
I love oatmeal cookies! My kids aren’t fond of them so I would have to eat them all myself if I made them. But it might just be worth it with your recipe!
This looks so good.
Oatmeal cookies are one of my fav’s, I bet these were delicious.
