This is what I was going for the last time. Oatmeal cookies are much better when the oatmeal is not left out. I’ve been adding a quarter cup of peanut butter to the recipe and I think it works, adds just a touch of flavor but it doesn’t stand out. We subbed walnuts for the almonds. I thought I was buying hazelnuts when I bought the walnuts and was perplexed when Mrs J kept insisting that we didn’t have any hazelnuts,
