I make these quite a bit to send to my daughter in college and for my son to take to school for break to hold him over til lunch. I follow the recipe, except reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup, use Old Fashioned Oats, and occasionally substitute applesauce for the butter. They are soft, delicious, and fairly healthy for a cookie! Yummm!

These were a big hit with the family. I halved the recipe and made bar cookies out of them. I cooked them in a 9X13 cake pan and cooked them for 20 min. They were moist and very good.

I put raisins and mini chocolate chips in mine very good. Everyone loves them.

I've made these several times. I am always asked for the recipe. Delicious and I love all the oats!

These are the best cookies ever. I sometimes subsitute 1 cup of four for the oats for thicker cookies. Delicious!

These are so good! I've also tried Reeses Pieces minis in place of the mini M&Ms. Delicious!

My family thinks these are the best peanut butter cookies ever. We are all 25 and much older.
