These cookies are awesome! I took these to a holiday party and people just raved about them. Many wanted the recipe. They were very easy to make and have great flavor! Thanks for sharing.

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.
