These are yummy little guys! I love a mostly oatmeal-based cookie, and the addition of peanut butter is always welcome. I skipped the walnuts due to the fact that my peanut butter was crunchy, and also the raisins since my kids won't eat them. I did have some trouble with the dough spreading out during baking, but that could be because I halved the recipe? Who knows, they still tasted great and spread out cookies make for fantastic ice cream sandwiches! Made for ZWT 8: The Wild Bunch.
