Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chef Gina Calina's Note:

This is my "go to" cookie recipe! I got it from Pamela Lanier's Bed & Breakfast website. I love them because they are delicious! They have oatmeal in them which I put through the blender until fine-this way I can slip it to my picky eaters!!!

Great flavor, and good texture (soft, yet crispier outer edge). The oatmeal adds a nice texture (i didn't grind). Will defiantly make again.

Superb cookies! I used butter flavored shortening to enhance the flavor even more. I also blended the oatmeal as my son has this thing about oatmeal. LOL! Thanks for the great recipe!! :)

I made these cookies exactly as written and they were devoured in my house by everyone. They made about 60 cookies using my small cookie scoop. Thanks for the recipe.
