Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

What's your favorite cookie flavor? Peanut Butter? Oatmeal? Chocolate Chip? How about all 3 combined? Sounds amazing to me!  The best part is, I already had all of the ingredients in my cupboard.

These make a perfect after school snack, quick dessert, or a yummy treat for hubby to come home to (or to hoard for yourself. Go ahead, I won't tell.)

i adapted the recipe a little bit for myself. The original recipe can be found at "The Girl Who Ate Everything". She has an amazing site full of recipes that we'll be trying in the near future!
