Peanut Butter Cookies IX
Very Tasty. The first batch I didn't flatten (as the directions didn't call for it) but the remaining batches I did. They cooked better flat. I also used a convection oven, so 6 minutes was all that was needed at 375.

Easy OREO Truffles
I have been making these Oreo Truffles for years, and have used all different flavors of sandwich cookies...from Nutter Butter to Coffee & Cream Oreos. Each is delicious. My favorite batch is the one where I add crushed BUTTERFINGER to the Peanutbutter Oreo cookie mixture. I use about 2-3 regular sized candy bars to 1 pkg Oreos. There are so many options with this recipe...

Banana Oatmeal Cookies I
These cookies are SO yummy! I too made some modifications... INGREDIENTS: 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup butter, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 4 ripe bananas, mashed, 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, 1 cup peanutbutter chips. I used about 3/4 of the batter to make bars (in a bar pan). I baked the bars at 375 for 20 minutes and it came out perfectly. I still had enough dough leftover to make 2 dozen cookies. I'm headed to the store to buy a tub of cream cheese frosting for my bars! YUM. **Also, this recipe makes much more then the 24 stated. Unless those are 24 HUGE cookies. I could have gotten 6 doz. good sized cookies with this recipe.
