Traditional Thursday (Recipe Ed.)




½ cup margarine
(I prefer not to use margarine so I substituted Brummel & Brown spread.)
½ cup peanut butter
¾ cup brown sugar
1 egg
½ tsp. vanilla
¼ tsp. salt
½ tsp. baking soda
1 ¼ cup rolled oats
¾ cup whole wheat flour

Icing:
1 ¼ cup powdered sugar
3 Tbsp. sweetened condensed milk

                  Preheat your oven to 350°. Add butter & peanut butter in large bowl & melt in microwave for about 30 seconds. Add brown sugar. Mix in egg & vanilla until all ingredients are well blended. Add salt, baking soda, oats & whole wheat flour. Make a ball out of your dough. Place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, then use your fork to make criss-cross marks and flatten. Cook for 8-10 minutes and allow cookies to cool before icing. (I chose not to ice this particular batch. They are really great either way.)
                  Make icing by mixing powdered sugar & sweetened condensed milk together until smooth. Drizzle icing over cookies. Enjoy!
