I went with the assumption that if a famous chocolate company is going to put out a recipe, they're going to make sure it's a good one to promote their product. My assumption was correct - these are just fantastic cookies and the recipe itself is flawless. I used old-fashioned oats rather than quick, which provided a bit more texture. I substituted M&M's for the chocolate chunks (sorry Baker's) and they provided a little crisp bite. These are not too peanut buttery, but just enough. Not too oatmeal cookie-like, but just just enough. Soft, yet crispy, and light as air. Just a fantastic blend of oatmeal, peanut butter and chocolate that makes this cookie stand apart. I used a medium sized cookie scoop, flattened them just slightly on the cookie sheet, and placed extra M&M's on the top before baking. Pretty to look at and even better to eat, this is one cookie recipe that goes to the top of my recipe heap!
