Thanks so much for this recipe. I was looking for a peanut butter-oatmeal raisin cookie. Finding this was such a treat... all I was asking for and HEALTHY too! I substituted ground flax seed which is something hard to fit into the diet. The other flavors made the flax seed unrecognizeable. Yay! I made regular sized cookies (55 in the batch) and cooked them for 10 minutes at the suggestion of the last review. I think they turned out great but want to try them on hubby before giving a rating. Tip: I was unhappy with the appearance of the first few trays so I started rolling them and pressing them with a fork as one does with regular peanut butter cookies. I dipped the fork in sugar between cookies. This greatly improved their appearance.

Wonderful cookies! My 4 year old who shuns healthy foods, and usually only eats cookies with chocolate, loved these! Chewy and delicious and chock full of good things. Strongly advise using buttermilk, I think it really contributed to the cookies' tenderness and great texture. I used honey crunch wheat germ and made regular-sized cookies. Baked about 10 minutes on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Wow, Roosie, thanks for another awesome recipe!
