Sometimes we get a little cookie craving. It’s that sweet and salty combo that makes these oh-so- scrumptious.
No joke, this is the ultimate cookie recipe. So good, you’ve actually seen a rendition of it before.
I use the basic recipe as a base and then add to it to give them a unique twist..whatever we’re in the mood for.
Today, it’s peanut butter chocolate chip with oats that give it a slight chewy and nutty crunch.
Seriously, go bake these.
PB & Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Original recipe
1/2 cup peanut butter chips (omit 1/2 cup chocolate chips in original recipe)
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
Note: Since it’s just the two of us.. I go ahead and make the full recipe (2 dozen), roll it into balls, and bake just what we need for a few cookie snacks. The rest of the dough gets frozen in a ziploc bag for the next cookie sweet tooth.

Just had to tell you that I read this a few days ago and printed out the recipe – and then baked the cookies, but with a dash of honey and sherry – DELICIOUS!!! Thanks a lot.
Thanks Suzie! Glad you liked them– they are for sure a personal favorite of mine.
