Two of my husband’s favorite cookies are oatmeal cookies and peanut butter cookies. When I saw this recipe from "Deseret Recipes" that combined both, I had to try them. This is a big recipe – even with my 5 quart pro style Kitchenaid, I had to get my husband to stir in all the oatmeal.
We baked 4 dozen and he portioned out the remaining 4 dozen close together on a half-sheet pan that I covered and put in the freezer. Later I rolled up the parchment, cookies and all, and put them in a gallon freezer bag and put them back in the freezer. I pull off what I want and bake them in my toaster oven whenever we want some freshly baked cookies, usually about the same time or a minute more baked from frozen.

I put some extra peanuts in all of them, and some chocolate chips in a few for me. Very good!
