Oatmeal Peanut Butter & Honey Chocolate Chip Cookies

There are cookies and then there are COOKIES!!!  

I have to say, that this is the one for me.  This cookie is absolutely delicious!

 

Last month I needed a dessert for the Super bowl and this cookie came to be.  I had a basic peanut butter cookie recipe and gave it a twist.   The honey and the two types of chocolate give this cookie a really good combination of flavor. 

 

 As for the Cherrios, did you ever wonder what to do to with that little bit of broken cereal that is left in the bag? Well, this is it! Throw it into your next batch of cookie dough. It adds both flavor and texture.  I hope you give this cookie recipe a try.  I promise, it is a winner.  People will be asking you for the recipe as they did with me :-)

 

 

Happy Cooking!
