But THIS subway had awesome people on it (and hardly any crazy/scary/drunk people!). We were on our way back from seeing Hamilton (which was AMAZING of course) and started playing Heads Up on our phone. That’s where you hold the phone on your forehead so you can’t see it, it displays a word , and everyone else has to help you guess what it is. My favorites were the songs. It would display a song title and everyone else has to hum the tune until the person figures it out. SO HARD!!! But extremely entertaining when everyone else on your train starts humming at you frantically. It’s also great having a younger crowd help you out with all the Ke$ha songs that you’ve never heard of. Because who the heck is that. Also, look at how good they are at selfie-ing! So natural! It’s a skill guys. I’m all like, “hang on lemme bust out the double chin” and they’re like, I’m cool. Hang ten. I take selfies with strangers on the train all day long. Ever bitten into a peanut butter cookie, only to have it crumble into dust? Such a disappointing experience. If a peanut butter cookie is going in my mouth, it better follow the rules. And those rules are: tons of peanut butter flavor. Super moist and tender. NO CRUMBLING. These peanut butter oatmeal cookies are IT, guys. The oatmeal keeps them so soft and there’s a LOT of peanut butter (some would say too much, they are wrong). This dough is insanely good.
Love peanuts? Use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy. Only have quick oats on hand? That’s ok, you can use ALL quick oats. The reverse is also true: if you only have old-fashioned oats, just use them. Play around with the ratios and see what creates your favorite texture. Not enough peanut butter for you? Make these into Peanut Butter Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies and up the ante with a generous amount of rich peanut butter frosting. Never enough chocolate? You can add a cup of chocolate chips, chunks, or mini chips, or get extra fancy and add Reese’s Pieces or Peanut Butter M&Ms (or any combination of the above). Cookies too big? No worries, you can make them any size you like (including actual Do-si-do size). Just watch the time to make sure they don’t over bake.
If you make this recipe, share it on Instagram using the hashtag #TheFoodCharlatan so I can see it! I love that. That being said, I’m also pretty obsessed with making them into these Peanut Butter Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies. You take two of them and put peanut butter frosting in between. They’re like a super upgraded version of the Girl Scout Do-si-dos. Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram The Best Peanut Butter Cookies « I still agree with this recipe title. I’ve been meaning to test more recipes to find a more “classic” version, but for now this is my number one classic PB cookie.
