This week’s TWD was chosen by Stefany of Proceed with Caution: chunky peanut butter and oatmeal chocolate chipsters. I was really excited about these cookies since they combine peanut butter, oatmeal and chocolate. It’s like 3 great cookies rolled into one!!
These cookies take some time to put together as Dorie recommends refrigerating the cookie dough for at least 2 hours before baking (to help achieve evenly shaped cookies). I cheated a bit and only refrigerated the dough for about an hour. Also, the recipe calls for bittersweet chocolate but I subbed milk chocolate since I had a bag of chips sitting around. Plus, I like milk chocolate a lot more than either bittersweet or semisweet.
When these came out of the oven I couldn’t wait to try them. I was making the cookies for a cookout we were having the next day but I allowed myself to eat the ones that broke during the move from the cookie sheet to the cooling rack. Luckily, there were a few of them 🙂 I thought these were amazing! I loved the combination of flavors, especially the hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. Everyone at the cookout seemed to enjoy the cookies too as there were very few left at the end of the day!
Thanks Stefany for choosing these delicious treats! If you’d like to try them, the recipe can be found on Stefany’s blog and, as always, check out TWD to see the rest of the cookies that were made!

i thought these were amazing too and i loved the spices in them. yours look really good. i wish i would’ve had a cookout to take these to, i ended up eating WAY too many. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed these so much. They look delicious!
I would say you got the perfect shape for a cookie like this.
great timing, having people to share these with! it’s just up to me and my husband, and he doesn’t like peanut butter. alas. 🙂
Those are some good lookin cookies!
same sentiments here! i thought these were fantastic.. sure tested my willpower just sitting on the racks looking all delicious and wonderful.. it was agonizing! Great effort anyway!
Beautiful cookies and really pretty pix. Isn’t it handy when there are a few broken cookies that demand to be cleaned up?

Beautiful cookies! Glad you enjoyed them.
Such beautiful photos! And those cookies look so plump and delicious!
Oh, they look perfect! Chunky and chewy and delicious!
I finally got around to making these today and I didn’t know I had to refrigerate the dough! So mine turned out pretty flat but they are SUPER yummy still! I’ll probably make them again, although next time I’ll be sure to stick them in the fridge for awhile first!
