Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

That's a mouthful. And so are these cookies ! Seriously, these have to be my absolute favorite cookies ever ! They always turn out well and are a real crowd pleaser. I personally like to use crunchy peanut butter, but you could use smooth. It is hard to tell (My kids don't even know that I use chunky),  but it adds a little extra crunch. I also like this recipe because you can vary the cookie size depending on what you are making them for. I tend to make a smaller ball than usual so that the cookie is bite-sized and you can just pop 'em in !
