Jase has always been the baker (working at Paradise Bakery as a teen makes him the pro) and I love being the cook in our family. I don’t like baking all that much, I’m too impatient for it. I love oatmeal cookies without the raisins but once the raisins are taken out, they’re lacking in something. I also love peanut butter. A lot. So, months ago, I started a craving: a Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie. I’d never seen one but I knew it would be magnificent if I ever had a chance to try one.

Yesterday I googled a recipe for it but I couldn’t wait to let the “Baker” come home to make it tonight, so the kids and I made them. These cookies are fantastic! I LOVE them. They are my favorite.
