Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Take oatmeal cookies to a whole new level by adding chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. These chewy, sweet treats won't last long after you bake them. To add even more of a whole-grain kick to these cookies, substitute 1 cup of the all-purpose flour with 1 cup of white whole-wheat flour. You could also use your favorite nut butter, such as almond butter or cashew butter, in place of the peanut butter.
