Cookie of the Month - May 2015: Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Kate and I listed out the various choco chip cookies we've made so far and I noticed a distinct lack of peanut butter. Kate wanted to make another oatmeal chip cookie and I thought: "What if we make oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!?" Kate agreed and a new family favorite cookie was born.
Like usual, we doubled the recipe and went heavy on the choco chips ... but for some reason we ended up with over 100 cookies (probably close to 110, given all the dough I ... I mean the kids ... ate as well as the samples we had to try). There was so much dough, and it was so heavy with peanut butter (we used a whole jar!), that at one point, Elizabeth rested the mixer over the edge of the bowl, which was at the edge of the counter, and I realized that the mixer was not touching the counter at all. The 90% of the bowl that was on the counter was apparently heavier than the mixer, which was perched on the bowl's edge, overhanging nothing but the floor.
So ... with all that oatmeal, they're thick. With all that peanut butter, they're creamy. And with all those chocolate chips, they're delicious! Here are some quotes:
E: "They were delicious. I hope you guys enjoy them. I love you."
H: "They have chocolate chips in them."
K: "Peanut buttery goodness!"
J: "The cookie world is forever changed, blended into a trifecta of awesomeness."
