I saved this recipe years ago and don't remember where I got it.  This person adapted it from Trader Joe's  recipe. She used organic when possible. I did not.

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees:

Combine both sugars and butter in a large bowl. Beat until creamy. Add eggs, vanilla, and baking soda. Mix well.  Add peanut butter and mix until combined. Stir in oats, chocolate chips, and nuts if using. Place dough by heaping teaspoons onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper about 2 inches apart.
