Working more from home, due to the coronavirus pandemic, is resulting in more baked goods being made. This Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is something that my friend Jen and I developed in college. We were the cookie makers at The Platform, which was a student run eatery in the Platt-Howard dormitories back in the 1980’s. This is the perfect marriage of all the best of peanut butter, oatmeal, and chocolate chip cookies all in one mouthwatering cookie. I’ve developed this recipe out a little bit since those days and it is a favorite in my household.
