Peanut Butter makes everything better and the combo of creamy peanut butter with Oreo cookies takes these tasty treats to the next level.

All the men in my life love peanut butter cookies - My Dad, my Husband, all my brothers-in-law! It's kindof a thing. So, the last time I went to whip them up a batch, I wanted to take the cookies to the next level and surprise them. When I served these to my dad, he bit into one, and then proceeded to scoop several off the plate for himself. Sweet victory!

These make up fast and are super straight forward - they’re a  rich, dense peanut butter cookie with Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreos and peanut butter (and/or chocolate) chips.
