Peanut Butter.
Oatmeal.
Chocolate Chip.
Cookies.
That's basically everything that's right with the world, isn't it? I mean how could you even improve on a recipe that includes peanut butter, oatmeal and chocolate chip? It's basically perfection in a cookie.
So before I get started let me just say that I took a lot of lovely pictures of these even lovelier cookies but somehow something got a little crazy up in here and only ONE transferred off my SD card to my computer and the rest were deleted. I apologize now for only sharing one photo with you, and I hope you forgive me!

These were amazingly delicious. Addicting if you will. I came across this recipe late one night (no seriously, it was like 1:30am) A little pregnancy insomnia had me scouring Pinterest and getting the urge to bake. I discovered we were out of eggs, but no worries - applesauce in place of eggs made these cookies really soft and you'd never know they were missing anything.
Found this recipe at Six Sisters Stuff.

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg or 1/4 c. applesauce
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup oats (quick or old fashioned)
2 cups milk or semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugars. Stir in peanut butter, vanilla and egg until well combined. Add flour, baking soda and salt.

Mmm, good. Trust me - these were polished off pretty quickly in this house!
