In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a sucker for chocolate and peanut butter. I mean really, could there be any better combination than that? Ok, maybe peanut butter cookies with a nice cold glass of milk. When making my way through my Google Reader one night, I came across a recipe for Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies by Brown Eyed Baker. They looked so perfect that I got up right then and there and baked them… at 11pm. Trust me, they’re worth it. I even sent the link to Andi, and she’s made them a few times and loves them as well! A great way to take these cookies over the top is to substitute the sugar with vanilla sugar. YUM!
