Say yes to a Fab creamy/ peanut buttery filling sandwiched in oatmeal cookies, hello Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies!!! Yummy either chewy or crispy!
These cookies are like the girl scout oatmeal peanut butter sandwich cookies only better. How can that be, you ask? I don’t know, but somehow, they just are. My daughter found this recipe on Allrecipes on their top 20 list for cookies and I tell you it’s on that list for darn good reason. These cookies are amazing. The filling is super creamy and peanut buttery delicious and the two outer cookies are yummy oatmeal cookies with a great chewy texture. If you prefer a crisper cookie just add a little extra time on the baking time. You’ve got to give these a try. Super YUM!!!
