These delicious cookies are packed full of peanut butter flavor with a subtle amount of oatmeal to add substance to the cookies without making the texture too chewy. My first go around these turned out more like breakfast cookies and the second batch went completely flat. Getting the ingredients just right for these cookies proved to be more of a challenge but the final version is a soft, fluffy cookie that I absolutely love. This recipe makes 12-15 cookies which is the perfect amount to share with a few friends or indulge yourself if you are having a rough week and just bake half the dough at once.
