Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies

These Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies are not only delicious but also easy enough for beginning cookie bakers. The chocolate chips, oatmeal and peanut butter gives them their rich flavor.

Chocolate Chip Cookies For Beginners

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Stir together the flour, oats, baking soda and salt; set aside.

In a medium bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter and buttermilk. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, then fold in chocolate chips. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place them 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Use a fork dipped in flour to flatten the balls slightly.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly brown at the edges. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

This is an unbelievably easy cookie. The cookies are so moist, chewy and delicious that if you make them once you will definitely make them again.
