1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 cup creamy butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups peanut butter
2 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt

topping:
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together butter, peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir in baking soda, salt and flour. Blend well. Fold in oats. Press a thin layer of dough into a cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Drop tablespoons of peanut butter over hot cookie. Sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips over top of hot cookie and let melt. With a spatula, spread peanut butter and melted chocolate chips like frosting over the entire pan. Let cool so the chocolate and peanut butter firm up. Cut in squares.
