Peanut Butter and Oatmeal
Wanting to make Monster Cookies but without M&M’s on hand, I decided to make another cookie with the same concept. Oatmeal, peanut butter and chocolate. I added peanuts to the batter and I used whole wheat flour. It makes a hearty oatmeal cookie.
Peanut Butter- Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
