Peanut butter, oatmeal, chocolate chips and rainbow chips combine to create these delicious cookies. Frankly, you can basically add whatever you’d like to the base: m&m’s, white chocolate, brownie chunks, mini marshmallows and even bacon bits! This bakery style cookie dough can either be refrigerated for a thicker bake or not if you prefer a thinner cookie. I did a test and both are perfectly fine.
