Peanut Butter Oats ChocoChippers

Peanut butter is an American craze slowly catching up in India as well. It usually comes in 2 variants – creamy and chunky. It tastes great with toast, paranthas as well as with bananas and is healthy for growing kids. I first tasted peanut butter only a few years back and loved it instantly, esp. cos I like peanuts. I was going to make these Chocochip cookies but my gaze fell on the peanut butter jar on my kitchen rack.  I thought why not do some mix n match? So just  to make it healthier, I added some oats too so I wont feel too guilty while having these yummy bites.

Please do try this easy cookie recipe and do let me know how they tasted.
