There is a reason I don’t make cookies more often. I eat them all. I don’t even get to the point of baked cookies, I’ll eat bites of dough before they even make it into the oven! Cookies are just so…Easy. Popable. Bite-sized.

The bambino gets a kick out of having treats in the cookie jar, so every once in awhile I make the effort, even though I know any hopes of a diet are out the window.

At least these cookies have oat bran in them. The added fiber makes them quasi-healthy, right?

Just like having them with milk makes them a balanced snack. That’s what I’m telling myself anyway.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, oat bran, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the melted butter and the sugars. Add the egg, and mix well. Add in the peanut butter and vanilla, and mix well.
