Created by Jenai on January 24, 2016

  • Yield: 36 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Butter, softened at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Butter (or 1/4 cup each Butter and Shortening)
  • 2 cups Packed Brown Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
  • 1 cup Wheaties Cereal
  • 1 cup Peanuts (roasted, salted & chopped fine)

Method

  • In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter, shortening, and brown sugar until it’s smooth.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla, and mix together well.
  • In a separate bowl, sift and measure the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the oats, Wheaties, and peanuts. Combine well.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix together well by hand.
  • Cover and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
