It’s Christmas time, so cookies are a must, especially these peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
The little guy and and I couldn’t quite settle on any one cookie. Ask him what he wants to make and he will say chocolate chip cookie 9 times out of 10. But who am I to judge, I’m the same way.
But to mix things up a little, this time I decided to go for a three in one. All was going fine and well, especially since we both agreed this is the kind of cookie that has a little bit of everything rolled into one—a little something for everyone.
That is unless you forget that someone in your home is allergic to peanut butter. Then you apologize with a a slice of cake.
