Whole Wheat Chocolate-Peanut Chip Oat Cookies

by

Hello Friends!

Now say this 10 times fast!

Yes, it’s a long name for a cookie, but I have so many cookie recipes that I really need to get more specific.  I wanted to name them semi-healthy delights, but will I remember what exactly that means a year from now when I’m looking for the recipe?

Yes, I do go through my own data base on this blog when I want to make something I blogged about.  In theory, the recipe is also somewhere in my house on a notecard or a scrap of paper…but seriously how awesome is it to be able to get online and type a couple of words to find a favorite recipe?

Okay, enough about one of my favorite perks to having a foodie blog!  Onto the cookies!

I mixed up some of these a couple of weekends ago (referenced these delightful cookies in my last WIAW post) and Dave and I enjoyed the dough, but I did manage to bake up a few of them on Election Day.
