Five-Chip Cookies (or the best cookies in the world)

1 c butter
1 c peanut butter
1 c sugar
2/3 brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
1 cup old fashioned oats
2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 c each milk chocolate , semisweet, peanut butter, vanilla, and butterscotch chips (I always leave out the last)

In a mixing bowl, cream butter, peanut butter and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, oats, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stire in chips. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute before removing to wire racks. Yield 4.5 dozen.

These are the best ever, very similar to Karli's, but I have never made her recipe. I always under cook them too, so they arenice and soft.
