After my slight mishap with the TWD cookie pick 2 weeks ago, I was eager to redeem myself with this week's choice - Chunky Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Chocolate Chipsters. This was particularly so given my new found love affair with all things peanut butter, which started with a heavenly peanut butter dessert that I had while on honeymoon in Bhutan and was further spurred on by a peanut butter torte which I made several weeks ago.
Having been on vacation the whole of last week, I had to hurriedly whip together this recipe on Monday night after getting back from work. Slightly taken aback by the large quantity of cookies the recipe makes (60 cookies!), I decided to half it to make a much more manageable 30 instead.
All the while that the cookies were in the oven, I could smell the peanut butter aroma wafting through the kitchen and, indeed, the entire apartment. Try as hard as I might to resist eating them, I just had to pop one into my mouth while it was fresh from the oven. I thought the cookie was good, but personally, I found the nutmeg to be slightly overpowering. The granola grabbers from 2 weeks ago is still the winning cookie recipe for me although I think next week's pick of Chocolate Whopper Malted Drops may give it a good run for its money. Stay tuned to see which recipe will be the ultimate winner!

Your Chipsters look very yummy, I took them all to work and have about 5 cookies left!!
My blog about the cookies will be up later tonight as I'm at work at the moment (taking a short coffee break to look at all my fellow TWD-bloggers) and have a birthday later tonight.
I am anxious for next week's cookie also...I like both cookies we made recently - but agree I do like the grabbers more!
Yours look great! We halfed the batch as well.
Honeymoon in Bhutan! Sounds nice! The cookies look great, but here's to hoping you love next week's cookies more!
I too, thought that the dough tasted fab! the smell of them baking...wonderful.
Cookies themselves~~a bit of a let down.
they look so good! I loved these cookies. I didn't bother adding the nutmeg.
This is one of my favorite cookie recipes, simply for the aroma of the cinnamon. Your cookies look fantastic all piled on the plate. Very inviting. I have also been enjoying your blog!
Great cookies! Im looking fwd to the next cookie recipe too!
Your cookies are lovely. I thought, personally, that there was too much cinnamon. Ah well.

Lovely cookies! I'll be interested to see which of the three cookies you like best. So far I'm with this week's Peanut Butter cookies.
I have to agree with you. I could not keep my hands of the Granola Grabbers, and these were just okay for me. I still kept eating them, though! Yours look really great.
