My family really likes these, and a good friend of mine is the leader of a women's group I am affiliated with through my church (The Church of Jesus Crist of Latter Day Saints/Relief Society). She is in a position to visit and cheer up alot of people. She always chooses this recipe to make cookies with, as it has peanut butter, oatmeal and chocolate chips...so there's a little something in it for every one, and they are fairly quick and easy...just right for a woman on the go, with lots of responsibilities! They are delicious.
