Grandma's Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
A Family Recipe
Recently, I went rummaging through my cupboards to take stock of ingredients I had on hand. I wanted to make something sweet, but I was out of butter and baking soda. I had peanut butter, oats, and baking powder. I also had plenty of sugar. Flipping through my secret family recipe book, I landed on our family's oatmeal cookie recipe. I took a few creative liberties and got to work, making a mess and baking.
Grandma's peanut butter oatmeal cookie recipe was born! About an hour later, I had a few pans full of scrumptious cookies. One bite and I was hooked!
These cookies are delicious! They are soft, crumbly, and filled with peanut buttery goodness.

Enjoy!
These cookies are filling. Serve warm with a glass of cold milk before bedtime or as a snack. I like to have a few for breakfast with my coffee. You might try having a cookie or two with a side of vanilla ice cream.
Yummy cookies and a hot cup of coffee—perfection!
