Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

(casserolesnotincluded.blogspot.com)
So I think I'm going to start calling these the "Peacemaker Cookies" or the "Something for Everyone Cookies". I don't know, I'm still comming up with a good name! But it cracked me up when I read the comments before that said something like "Want to make some cookies, but don't know what kind you want? Try these, they have it all!" Totally true!
Ingredients1 cup (1/2 lb.) unsalted butter, at room temperature1 cup granulated sugar1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar3/4 cup creamy peanut butter2 large eggs1 teaspoon vanilla2 cups all-purpose flour1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt2 cups chocolate chips (12 oz.)1 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats1 cup unsalted roasted peanuts, chopped
Preparation1. In a bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until well blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.2. In another bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir or beat into butter mixture until well incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips, oats, and peanuts.3. Drop dough in rounded 2-tablespoon portions, 3 inches apart, onto buttered or cooking parchment-lined 12- by 15-inch baking sheets. With a lightly floured fork, flatten slightly into 2 1/2-inch rounds about 1/2 inch thick.4. Bake in a 350° oven until cookies are golden and tops feel set when lightly pressed, 12 to 14 minutes (they will feel underdone but will firm up as they cool); if baking more than one pan at a time, switch pan positions halfway through baking.5. Let stand 5 minutes on sheets, then, with a wide spatula, transfer cookies to racks to cool. If hot cookies start to break, slide a thin spatula under them to release; let stand on pan to firm up, 2 to 5 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

Gingerbread Pinwheel Cookies

Gingerbread Pinwheel cookies:
Outstanding
Notes: This cookie is a spin on traditional pinwheels, in which plain and chocolate doughs are swirled together. Store cookies airtight at room temperature up to 3 days; freeze to store longer.
Yield: Makes about 50 cookies
Ingredients
· For gingerbread dough:
· 3/4 cup (3/8 lb.) butter, at room temperature
· 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
· 1/4 cup light or dark molasses
· 2 large egg yolks
· 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
· 2 teaspoons ground ginger
· 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
· 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
· 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
· 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
· 1/4 teaspoon salt
· For plain dough:
· 1 cup (1/2 lb.) butter, at room temperature
· 1 cup granulated sugar
· 1 large egg
· 1 teaspoon vanilla
· 3 cups all-purpose flour
· 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
· 1/4 teaspoon salt
Preparation
1. Make gingerbread dough: In a bowl, with a mixer on high speed, beat butter, brown sugar, and molasses until smooth. Beat in egg yolks until well blended, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. In another bowl, mix flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, and salt. With mixer on low speed, beat flour mixture into butter mixture until well blended. Wrap dough in plastic and flatten slightly; chill until firm but pliable, about 1 hour (or freeze for 30 minutes).
Make plain dough: In a bowl, with a mixer on high speed, beat butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla until well blended, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. With mixer on low speed, beat flour mixture into butter mixture until well blended. Wrap dough in plastic and flatten slightly; chill as directed above.
2. With a lightly floured rolling pin on a lightly floured sheet of waxed paper, roll out gingerbread dough into an approximately 12- by 15-inch rectangle. Slide dough, on waxed paper, onto a 12- by 15-inch baking sheet. Repeat to roll out plain dough and chill both doughs until slightly firmer, about 10 minutes.
3. Carefully invert gingerbread dough over the plain dough, lining up edges as evenly as possible. Remove waxed paper from top of gingerbread dough. With a sharp knife, cut rectangle in half lengthwise to make two 6- by 15-inch rectangles. Transfer one of the rectangles to another sheet of waxed paper. Let stand about 10 minutes to soften slightly.
4. Starting at long edge of one rectangle, lift waxed paper to roll doughs into a tight, even cylinder. Repeat to roll other rectangle. Wrap rolls in plastic; freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
5. Unwrap rolls and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Lay cookies flat, 1 inch apart, on buttered 12- by 17-inch baking sheets.
6. Bake cookies in a 325° regular or convection oven until edges just begin to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. If baking multiple sheets in one oven, switch positions halfway through baking. Transfer pinwheels to racks to cool.
