Soft, delicious peanut butter oatmeal cookies make a perfect after school snack, grab a glass of milk and dig in!
I’m not sure if another household loves peanut butter as much as we do! Okay time for a slightly embarrassing story. Before we moved last year, when I was packing up I discovered 8 jars of peanut butter in my pantry. That’s 8 – not one, not two or even three but EIGHT! My sister said I had a serious peanut butter problem, but you know what? We used them all and since then I have had to buy peanut butter quite a few times. It might be due to our addiction, peanut butter is quite versatile you know. Or maybe it’s because I make all sorts of things with it; bread, cookies, fudge, the list continues.
Stories aside, now for the cookies. Last week my hubby was requesting some cookies. I didnt want to just make the same old ones, so I modified our tried and true PB cookie recipe. These tasty little cookies were the result; soft, delicious and full of peanut buttery goodness. Make them for yourself or for a friend, enjoy and happy baking!

Is the recipe from the book? I love that you used it even if it was just for the photo!
Not really, just a basic recipe that is tweaked, I thought of you so when I made them, so I wanted to include the book as another thing that reminded me of you 🙂
