Expert Tips

You can add another grain by replacing 1/4 cup of the oats with wheat germ.

Next time you make the cookies, replace the raisins with mixed dried fruit pieces.

Yummy, taste like soft peanut butter oatmeal cookies, great flavor. I had a problem with the M&M's melting, but I think that freezing them first would do the trick. Substitutions: I used sliced almonds instead of peanuts and added dried cranberries and apricots. Yumm (and great for a snack in lunch for afternoon energy)

I''ve made this cookie a few times when going to a party. People absolutely love them and there are never any leftovers. It has so much going on between the oatmeal, peanut butter, and M&Ms! It''s a definite winner for a crowd.
