Delicious chewy cookie. My first tray was too dark at 12 minutes, so I took the second tray out at 11 minutes. They were perfect!

Yummy! I really enjoyed snacking on these. They are really light! Perfect amount of peanut butter and chocolate. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips since I didn't have chunks on hand. They baked up just right and mine came out slightly crumbly but great nonetheless. I will make these again. Thanks!

These are good cookies with texture!! I love the oats added in there!! I used some really good chocolate, Scharffen Berger semisweet dark chocolate (Scharffen Berger is my favorite chocolate!), since this was a chunk cookie. These browned pretty fast for me so next time I would bake them for only 8 to 10 minutes. Thanks for posting!!
