Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Oat Cookies

Submitted by Lois4533

"I got this recipe from the inside lid of a metal box that had pictures of Walt Disney World and Beauty and the Beast and 2 12 oz. packages of Nestles chocolate chips inside more than 5 years ago. When I first saw the recipe, I wasn't sure I would like it as it has oatmeal in it. Well my daughter made them when I wasn't home and I was so glad she did because they were soooo delicious, rich, and yummy. I am posting this to share and for safe keeping."

I made these cookies today and they are delicious. I think they are very moist; they didn't get dry on me as a lot of peanut butter cookies have. I used crunchy peanut butter because that's what I had. I love the "random recipe" feature, I've found some wonderful recipes with it, including these cookies. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, these were delicious! I was skeptical about the oatmeal as well, but it gives the cookie a great texture. You will find that these cookies come out soft on the inside, slightly crisp around the edges with a nice bit of chewiness to the texture. The flavor was wonderful and the cookies spread just a little bit, but still end up looking very nice and not too flat. The measuring was super simple and the batter was quick to make. My two year old even liked these and she usually won't touch anything with oatmeal in it. My husband, a self-proclaimed choco chip cookie connoisseur, said these were terrific. I love it when a recipe gives results beyond our expectations, and this cookie certainly did just that. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!

Absolutely delicious! They're the perfect pick-me-up at the end of a not-so-great day! They're a fantastic texture, and just the right balance of peanut butter, chocolate, and oats. I almost couldn't bear to dunk them in milk!

Great taste, just wish they were a bit softer. Thanks for the great recipe! :-)

One of the best cookies I ever had. I tried them a second time when I was low on chocolate chips, and used half chococlate, half butterscotch chips. The results were amazing, and I will make them that way from now on. I highly recommend these.
