Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

It’s been a while since I’ve used my KitchenAid mixer. One glorious air-conditioned night a couple weeks ago, I had a vision of oatmeal peanut butter cookies, so dusted it off.

Paired with a cup of cold milk, these are possibly one of my favourite cookies to make (although I think I say that about every cookie recipe I post).

Chewy oatmeal, filling peanut butter, could you really ask for anything more in life?

I love it when the margarine, peanut butter and sugars are whipped together, the results are so creamy and I usually have to prevent myself from licking the spatula in the end.

Must. Not. Lick. Spatula.
