I made you some cookies!!
Some VERY good CHEWY cookies. They are simply ahhh-mazing!
I was a little afraid to make this cookies at first, simply because I am all about butter and flour in a cookie. I mean after all that is what makes them good right?
WRONG! These cookie only require 7 ingredients, which in my opinion is very FEW for cookies. The peanut butter is not overwhelming and the semi sweet chocolate chips are a heavenly marriage with the oatmeal and peanut butter. Besides in my opinion (yes I am giving it to you again) a cookie ain’t a cookie unless it has chocolate.
Don’t argue with me……..
I mean come on, how can you not want to just DIG your face into that last batch with the chocolate chips, oatmeal and peanut butter. I licked the spoon like a million time, about 2 cookies worth, and it was soooooo worth it. =)
I wish you could try one….
..if you were here I would give you a nice glass of milk and put this warm cookie in your face to make you happy.
TRUE STORY: My husband, who does not really like cookies….WELL, her ate 3. I brought 4 home with me and left the rest with Lady ID, and I would not eat them all. I left the 4 of them that I brought home with me on our kitchen table and ran some errands, only to come home to only one left. I was thrilled that he liked the cookies, but a little irritated that there was only one left. Bittersweet =)
