Updated Post- Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Don't forget to follow me on Instagram!

Hi everyone and happy Friday!  Whether it's been a good week or a rough weak, let's face it-  we need some cookies!  So today, I am re-sharing a post that's been on the blog for a while:  peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

Why am I re-posting this recipe, you may ask?  Well, first of all, the photography in the original post is, to say the least, lacking 😬.   So in today's post, the photography, while not professional, is at least pleasing to the eyes.  Secondly, I am reminding all y'all of this recipe because it is so good!  Without further adieu, let's get to it!

These peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are amazing because they are a fusion of the classic cookie trifecta:  oatmeal cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and peanut butter cookies.  In case you think that fusing three different kinds of cookies together could result in disaster, let me put your fears to rest by saying that any disaster that this recipe causes will be related to how well your pants fit after chowing down the entire batch of said cookies 😜!

In all seriousness, though, combining three cookies into one yields an incredible result.  Oatmeal cookies are chewy and nutty;  chocolate chip cookies are bitter-sweet and decadent; peanut butter cookies are sweet-salty and rich.  Therefore, these peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are chewy, nutty, bitter-sweet, sweet-salty, and downright decadent 😋!

While these peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are perfectly wonderful all on their own, they are of course elevated to high levels of greatness when paired with a glass of milk or crumbled over ice cream. Looking for an excuse to eat these cookies for breakfast?  I've got you covered!  Crumble one...or two...or three over a bowl of yogurt for a serious upgrade from conventional parfaits.

I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as I do!  This recipe was tweaked to bring you today's recipe.

I look forward to posting again on Monday 😊!
