pb oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

Now that's a killer long name for a cookie. It's really random how I bake these cookies. A good friend of mine brought us these amaziiiiing store bought peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. After one, I just wanted another. Knowing all the bad stuff in the store bought ones, I decided it would be better to make my own healthy version of it. There's something about pairing peanut butter and chocolate that just mind-blowing! I love pb & jelly, but with chocolate.. It's a whole new level of yumminess if that would exist.

when chocolate goodness meets PB awesomeness

As the title indicates, I also have oats in this recipe. Very little though. At first, I thought I could find a healthy recipe of these cookies. Unfortunately, these cookies were not meant to be good for you. I disguised it into healthy cookies by adding rolled oats in it. I don't know why, but whenever I think oatmeal, I think healthy, but that's definitely not true. Some of the most decadent desserts can be made with oats.

So how did it turn out? A little on the dry side. Unfortunately, one of my batches ended up being a little overcooked (this might have been the cause). Luckily, the second batch to go in the oven was much better! Thick and chewy, just how I like it. I might have added too much oatmeal to my mix. The only problem for these cookies would be the overpowering taste of those chocochips. I could barely taste poor little PB. :( For those still interested in the recipe, here it is below. I'm sure I did something wrong to have them missing that peanut butter taste (Though they do smell like it, but don't taste it)
