Classic Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

These Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies are a classic in the kitchen year round. You can make a creamy peanut butter spread to make little peanut butter cookie sandwiches or you can spread a little jelly on top for a PB&J fix. Regardless of how you enjoy these I insist you first have a few plain and warm out of the oven to enjoy them at their simple best.

Yield: About 36 Cookies
