2/3 c. butter
1 1/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. granulated sugar
3 beaten eggs
1 1/2 c. chunky-style peanut butter
6 c. old-fashioned oats, NOT quick cooking
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 c. raisins
1 (12 oz.) pkg. chocolate bits

(I use Jif brand peanut butter. If unavailable, use another brand, but add several tablespoons water to mixture.)

Melt butter over low heat. Blend in sugars, eggs and peanut butter; mix until smooth. Add oats, soda, raisins and chocolate bits (mixture will be sticky). Drop on greased baking sheet with No. 20 ice cream scoop or large spoon. Flatten slightly. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes for large cookies, 3 inches diameter. Remove to cooling rack. Makes 2 dozen cookies.
