Picture this – it’s a beautiful Saturday morning, your kids haven’t fought yet today, your husband is making a fire tornado and you already have laundry running.
And then this:
Hubs: “Can I use this oatmeal canister for the tornado?”
Me: “UHHHH, that canister is FULL.”
Hubs: “I guess you’ll have to create some cookies today?”
Me: “Hmm, cookies do sound good.”
And that’s how the Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies were created!

This is the muffin cookie. They are the size of cupcakes, but taste like cookies. It’s my new favorite way to make cookies!
**Full Disclosure: I was not compensated for this post. As far as I know, it’s my own recipe.
