Big Ass Crunchy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

My daughter insisted on making a special treat for her grandpa who came to visit today. I found this recipe and believe me, the picture does not do it justice! They were wonderful!! Give them a try.

2 c whole wheat flour
2 c rolled oats
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 c canola oil
3/4 c peanut butter
1 c granulated sugar
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c vanilla soy milk
2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, lightly grease two cookie sheets.
Mix flour, oats, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl mix together the oil, peanut butter, sugars, soy milk, and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients to the wet, and mix. For perfectly round, large cookies: pack a 1/3 c measuring cup with dough, pop out and roll the dough into a firm ball. Lightly grease the bottom of a pie plate; press the top of the cookies with the bottom of the pie plate to flatten to a 1/2-inch thickness. Bake 12-15 min till cookies have puffed a bit and are lightly browned. Allow to cool at least 10 mins to firm up before moving off the cookie sheet.
Makes 12 cookies.
