Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

This is a recipe for chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies. This means that in these delicious cookies you have the perfect marriage of chocolate and peanut butter and the goodness of oats. In short...a perfect cookie!

At my house, it seems that peanut butter can never be eaten without some form of chocolate. These two substances seem to be like perfect magnets. Also, some of my family members, seem to do best when they do not have wheat products and these cookies do not have any flour...that's right ...none. So with one cookie, I can make everyone happy.

However, these chocolate oatmeal peanut cookies cannot be called true gluten free cookies because they do contain oats and oats are not considered a gluten free food.

So if you like - love - peanut butter and chocolate, you have to give these cookies a try! Then come back and leave a review. Your input is not only important to me, but more importantly to other visitors as well.
