Ingredients:
4oz butter - softened
4oz crunchy Peanut Butter
4oz Golden Caster Sugar
4oz Light Muscovado Sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
3oz plain flour

Directions:
Preheat oven to 180c/Gas Mark 4
Place the butter and the peanut butter in a bowl and beat together. Beat in the caster and muscovado sugars, then gradually beat in the egg and vanilla essence.
Sift the flour, bicard, baking soda and salt into the bowl and stir in the oats and chocolate chips.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture on to baking sheets, spaced well apart to allow for spreading. Flatten slightly with a fork.
Bake in the oven for 12 mins, or until lightly browned. Leave to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely!
