I’ve been on a cookie baking craze lately. Last week, I started with the Best, Most Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies, and this week it’s all about the peanut butter cookie. These aren’t your typical peanut butter cookie that you throw together and criss cross the top with a fork. No these are special. These are the BEST peanut butter cookies that you can make. I know, I know, I threw around that word “best” last week too but I’m serious here, people! Anytime I get a request from family or friends for peanut butter cookies, these are the ones that I make.
They are nothing short of amazing! They include chocolate chips and just enough oatmeal to barely notice it but not be overpowering. Yes, these peanut butter cookies have oatmeal, the secret ingredient to make them perfect.
When you are craving cookies and just can’t decide chocolate chip, peanut butter or oatmeal, this is the recipe to make. Heck, if you are craving any kind of cookies, these are the kind to make. This recipe is easy and as long as you don’t burn them, they turn out perfect every time.

I love this recipe (my granddaughters favorite!) but as my memory isn't what it used to be, I wish you had a simpler version for printing. I really don't need all the pictures!
