I love, love, love chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Throw in some peanut butter and you have created my very favorite cookie! Because everything is better with peanut butter, right?
These are not your ordinary chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. We’ve already talked about the peanut butter. Let’s talk about why these cookies are super AMAZING.
I don’t just throw the oats into the batter. I chop them. I used a hand chopper. You could also use a food processor. I don’t grind them into a fine dust. I just kind of make them smaller. Almost like cutting them in half.
I know you are wondering…why is she chopping the oats?
I don’t know. Just kidding.
I do this so that the cookie has a better texture. You still get the oat flavor and texture but you don’t get mouthfuls of big pieces of oats. Your kids will thank you for making this extra step.
These cookies are so simple to prepare. I love that I can throw everything into one bowl. This recipe doesn’t require multiple bowls. Im always happy when I don’t have to do extra dishes. Aren’t you?
