2-23-12 made a slight change - Gonna name this version 'Ken's Cookies'
Made them for Ken after his knee surgery, but only had 1/4 cup of peanut butter in the house. So I subbed. did the 1/4 cup pb and added 3/4 cup nutella.
I added 1/2 cup extra instant oatmeal. And did not add the cinnamon & nutmeg.
Probably should cut back on the butter to 1/2 to 3/4 cup. (came out thin) but very Yummy!
