I have this crazy thing about peanut butter!! I love it!! I have loved it since I was a little kid. My Mom was allergic to peanuts so peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were a treat. My older sister would have to make them and everything would have to be wiped down meticulously. We would always use a separate knife for each and the jelly was always spread first and put away. We did not want to inadvertently get peanut butter in the jelly and cause Mom’s eyes to swell shut. Despite all of that I still love peanut butter. It is no wonder that I love these Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. They are so unbelievably delectable!!!
These soft Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are a cinch to make. I like to refrigerate the dough for 1-2 hours so I usually whip up the dough and go do something really exciting like laundry! Yahoo!! There is a lot going on here so you want your dough to hold up real good and when you beat peanut butter it thins out a little bit. It needs time to cool back down from all that whipping. YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THESE TREASURES!!
I have always had such good luck with freezing cookies. I am going to start stashing cookies in the freezer for the holidays!! I double wrap them in Ziploc freezer bags and place them in sturdy glad-ware so they do not get broken. I hope you give these a whirl or at least put them on your holiday baking list!!!
Happy Baking my food loving friends!!
