LOVE 'em!!! Love 'em!!! Did I say we LOVE them?! Nice texture with the touch of oats, the flavor is fabulous and I love the topping of the peanut butter cups. Now I did goof a bit and purchased mini PB baking cups (not the mini candies - was not thinking straight) so I just popped two of those mini PB baking cups on top of each cookie. Wonderful! Will be making more of these for our Christmas cookie trays! Thanks for sharing! Tagged in 1.2.3 Hit Wonders.

I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom's homecooked meals.
