  • When you use peanut butter, try it with the crunchy kind so you'll have nuts in the cookie too!

  • My mom made these for us when we were kids 40 yrs ago. She'd use 1 cup coconut or 1 cup rasins in place of peanutbutter. Awesome!

  • LOVE these cookies! But i find 3 cups oatmeal makes cookies a little to dry. I use 2 2/3 cups & a little more peanut butter.
