Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

If you have worked with me, you know I love to bring treats in to work, especially for meetings. It’s a great way to make meetings more enjoyable for all 😀 And I get feedback on the recipes, as I work to develop them 😀 It’s a win-win for all <3

In preparation for a few meetings this week, I wanted to create a new cookie. After seeing some peanut butter M&Ms I decided to try a peanut butter cookie with oatmeal. They were perfectly chewy, peanut buttery and topped with fall colored  PB M&M’s!

This recipe is really easy, and the cookie dough does not require any chilling (which means you can make them in 35 minutes).

These Peanut Butter Oatmeal cookies are best stored in an air tight container for up to a week. But they won’t last that long 😀
