I made this recipe (using the variation where I mix butterscotch chips into the batter) for the missionaries when they came over for dinner and they absolutely loved them!
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup Smart Balance buttery spread
- 1/3 cup Smart Balance Creamy Peanut Butter
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking (or 1¾ cup of sugar)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 3 cups oats
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions:
Combine peanut butter, oats, and vanilla in large mixing boil. Set aside. In a saucepan, combine butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder; bring to boil and simmer for 1 minute. Add hot mixture to the mixing bowl; mix well. Spread into a 9X9 or 8X8 casserole dish. Pour chocolate chips over the top. Chocolate will melt slowly; if desired, spread melted chocolate with a spatula to form a chocolate layer on top of the cookies, or leave as is. Set aside to cool.
Variation: use butterscotch chips as well as dark chocolate chips as an added dimension of flavor. Mix the chips into the cookie batter to have them melt into the cookies, or add on top with the dark chocolate to keep flavor more distinct.
