TWD seems to be going through a cookie phase at the moment. This week’s recipe is peanut butter & oatmeal chocolate chipsters and is chosen by Stefany of Proceed with Caution. I love peanut butter, so this was a great recipe for licking the bowl!
These cookies were a combination of peanut butter, chocolate and oatmeal (as the name suggests!). Dorie specified either crunchy or smooth peanut butter. I only had smooth in the cupboard so used that, but I did add some chopped salted peanuts which added to the flavour. As I said above, the raw mixture of these cookies was delicious! And the cooked product was pretty good as well. The cookie turned out lovely and crisp, but with a slight chewiness from the oats. The peanut butter flavour wasn’t too pronounced, but I think that the addition of the salted peanuts gave a great boost to the flavour of the cookies.
The other interesting thing in these cookies was a touch of cinnamon – not enough to make the cookies cinnamon flavoured, but just subtle enough to add a little
something.
I would definitely make these again and I actually think that they could become firm favourites. They are perfect with a glass of milk and would be great in school lunch boxes (if I had kids!!).
See if the other TWDers loved them as much as I did by looking here.

These look perfect. I thought the spice added a nice little kick. Wish I'd added some crushed peanuts, though. Good idea!
Ooh, your cookies look all yummy and chunky. Very nice.
Your cookies look terrific. They were a hit around here, too. My daughter already asked if she can have one in her lunch for school tomorrow. =)

I agree about the touch of cinnamon. Just enough to get a little taste but it doesn't overwhelm the cookie. Great job!

I'm glad you liked these so much. The addition of peanuts sounds like a good one.
Yours look delish! I added a handful of chopped peanuts too and I'm glad I did. It was a nice touch.
These look sooooo good!
Yes, they are yummy aren't they. I took a bunch to work and they disappeared like no tomorrow with firm requests for "more please!"
Your cookies look very tasty!

next time i think i'll add peanuts too, since mine didn't taste very peanutty. yours look great!
Really pretty cookies and nice pix. The salted nuts sound like an inspired addition - to balance some of the sweetness.

They look so inviting~ yummy, I agree!
That is an interesting twist - adding cinnamon to peanut butter cookies. I bet the kitchen had a wonderful all day1
They look terrific! I agree about the cinnamon. It gave it a little something extra.
So what if you don't have kids? Make yourself a lunch box with these cookies ;)
Oh, they look amazing! Nice work.
Wow those cookies look absolutely PERFECT! Beautiful work!
How nice to see a post that says "I love...." rather than your usual "I'm not a fan of....". You crack me up!
I'm definitely going to try these after your glowing review.
I have to admit to eating quite a bit of cookie dough, it was so tasty!
