Allison's Wonderland: Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is a recipe that I used to make a lot when my husband and I first got married. I didn't really know how to bake -or do anything well- back then. Wanting to bring something not out of a box to functions we would attend, I attempted this recipe and it turned out to be a success. How can you resist oatmeal, peanut butter, and chocolate all in one cookie? It's definitely best to bake these for somebody else and get them out of the house because they are not "I'll only have one and walk away" cookies.
