Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

Who doesn't love cookies?!??! They are simply the greatest thing in the world universe! While some cookies are of course better tasting then others, I have never had a bad cookie experience. If asked what my favorite type of cookie is, I never have an answer. I am however partial to the texture of cookie I prefer.. I like them crisp on the outside, and ooey-gooey chewy in the center. Well I wont keep you waiting long for this great recipe. It is one of my go-to cookie recipes that never disappoints! They are good in an airtight container for about 2-3 days but freeze very well and can be enjoyed right away after taking them out of the freezer.

2 C oats

1 C flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 C peanut butter

3/4 C butter
