These cookies were orginally published to my blog in August, 2010. {Way back when my photography was…well…NO GOOD!} Take a peak in my archives and you’ll see what I mean. I still have plenty of room for improvement, but these cookies are so good they needed a better photo to showcase them.
These Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies are supposed to be copycat Girl Scout Do-si-do Cookies. When it comes to Girl Scout Cookies I really only know Samoas and Thin Mints. So, I’ll let you be the judge.
They are however, out of this world good. Dangerous to any peanut butter lover. Soft and chewy peanut butter cookies filled with the best peanut butter frosting.
I work with the youth in our church and I get to pawn off all of the treats I make on them. I took these to an activity a few weeks ago and every last one disappeared.
