15 Days to Christmas- Peanut Butter Oaty Choc Chips Cookies

How can anyone resist the combination of peanut butter and chocolate? This recipe was adapted some time ago from various bloggers participating in TWD. Certainly the use of peanut butter and chocolate caught my attention.

I was expecting these little babies to be a little more fudgey. Still, I love how it crumbles in my mouth. Once you start eating it, it's hard to stop.

The other thing I did was to shape it in tinier portions. That may be a mistakes because I probably ended up eating a few more than I should!!!
