These are just delicious. I got about 4 doz. using my cookie scoop. Made them exactly as written, except I did half a cup of raisins and half a cup of chocolate chips because I couldn't decide what I wanted more, lol. I sent a dozen home with my SIL just to get them away from me! They are soft, chewy, and were perfectly cooked in 15 minutes. I worried that the batter was a bit soft and runny (I used soft margarine in mine instead of butter) but they were totally perfect once they cooled off. Off to have a few more before bed!

Oh boy! I just love PB cookies and these were fantastic! I did leave out the raisins as I do not care for them, and the oatmeal gave them such a different texture than the usual. I will definetely be making these again!!! Thank you Fauve! :)
