Oatmeal Chocolate Nutty Cookies



I have an admission- a guilt really. I love these cookies. I could eat them all day long. 
It could be safe to say that these may place me in chocoholics anonymous soon!

My excuse is that I added oatmeal, which is good for you. 
I added peanut butter too, which is also good for you.
 I am just saying :P

With this recipe, you can stock up for the family or use these for a potluck.
I use them for many things- like rewards for the kids. Also, for me during those mid day snacks that I need to sneak every day for my sanity. 

As far as ingredients go, I use chunky peanut butter because it helps add peanuts to it.
You can easily subsitute almond butter if you are allergic, like my beautiful nephew is. 

Speaking of which, I got to listen to my 5 year old nephew Elijah rap to me:
"Where is my chair, 
where is my chair."
as he pranced in his kitchen 3000 miles away in Portland, Or.
They ate dinner, I made dessert. 
It works out well.
I can always say:
"Auntie is making cookies, you should eat all your dinner!"
Hopefully it motivates them to eat. 
Yay for Skype- to be able to chat with them so far away.
