Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is a new twist on an old standby...the oatmeal raisin cookie. The subtitution of chocolate chips for the raisins makes them richer and the 1/2 cup of peanut butter makes them positively decadent. Still a "healthy" cookie, but Oh the Joy! and still so easy.
