Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

I love a good cookie. Chocolate chip, Reese’s Smores Cookies, white chocolate macadamia nut, sugar cookies, Birthday Cake Cookies, Snikerdoodle, double chocolate chunk, Mint Chocolate Chip; the list is never ending.

But one of my new favorites is this; my Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies.

I found the peanut butter M&M’s and knew immediately that I needed to make a new cookie. It was feeling like fall (way too early in my opinion, but I can’t argue with mother nature), so I decided on a peanut butter cookie.

But peanut butter cookies are basic. Yes, I said it.

So, I decided to add some oats! Because texture, flavor, health. 😉

I was so pleasantly surprised by the outcome! A soft, chewy cookie and an added crunch and burst of peanut butter with the M&Ms. YUM!


 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

To start you want to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
