My Father's Day dessert for my husband. His two favorite baking loves are Chocolate Chip Cookies and Peanut Butter Pie. This pie encompassed both of those. It was so easy to make and it was so incredibly delicious. And I don't even like peanut butter all that much. (It was one of those smells that used to nauseate me when I was pregnant.) I made him take the rest to work so I wouldn't eat it. One piece was enough for me and I think next time I would have even eaten a half of piece. The only gripe I had with it, is after the chocolate sets it is hard to cut without cracking the chocolate. Next time I think I would cut BEFORE I set the chocolate. Here's the recipe...

Peanut butter and oatmeal-I think that practically makes these health food. PEANUT BUTTER-OATMEAL COOKIES Makes 6 dozen small cookies. 2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats 1 1/4 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature 1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter 1 cup sugar 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 2 large eggs, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract To mix cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add both sugars, beating until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add oat and flour mixture, a little at a time, beating until well combined. To bake cookies:Drop dough by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to wire racks while still warm. Cool completely. Store in airtight containers. I used salted butter and somehow I forgot to add the flour until the last minute but they turned out fine.
