This was rated a favorite by the staff of Coastal Living Magazine. *Update* I just made these and they are wonderful! It reminds me of a combination of a chocolate no-bake cookie and a peanut butter cookie combined. These make the biggest cookies and I have 1/2 of one left out of the whole batch. Prep time includes 2 hours in fridge.
Ingredients:
2 cups creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups uncooked oats
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (11 1/2 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chunks, chopped or 3 (4 ounce) semisweet baking chocolate, bars chopped
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
Directions:
1. Beat peanut butter, butter, and sugars at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy.
2. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until blended.
3. Combine oats, baking soda, and salt. Add to butter mixture, beating until blended. Stir in chocolate chunks and pecans. Cover and chill dough 2 hours.
4. Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets; press to 3/4-inch thickness.
5. Bake at 350 for 14-15 minutes or until edges are browned. Cool on baking sheets 3 minutes; remove to wire racks to cook completely.
