I wanted to make a slightly healthier snack for my little ones today (and my big one) and these cookies were the result. Enjoy these Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk! I made some of the using the traditional peanut butter cookie criss-cross method (pressing them down with a fork) and left some in a ball without pressing them down with the design. The ones left in a ball before baking were softer and chewier (a consistency which is more challenging to achieve with whole wheat cookies), and the ones pressed down with the criss-cross design were crunchier. So, depending on which cookie texture you prefer, choose one of these methods accordingly.
