Here we are in the middle of Oatmeal Cookie Week. I’ve been on a little kick lately with the oatmeal cookie. I’ve been telling myself that because it’s oatmeal cookies, they’re healthy. Ha. Just let me live in my little delusion a while longer… there’s still cookies in the cookie jar.
Who doesn’t love a chocolate and peanut butter combo? I had to try this combo out before I called it quits on my oatmeal cookie obsession. These were good. They were a bit rich too. I couldn’t binge on these quite like I did on the Cranberry and Almond ones. Still yummy though.
