Making a Good Thing Even Better

It's hard to improve on perfection, but I decided to try. Feeling the desire to make our standby cookies a little bit more nutritionally sound, I decided to try replacing half the butter with peanut butter, to boost the protein and fiber content. We also were out of oatmeal, so I used oat bran. They turned out great--big and chewy, though for some reason the dough seemed bent on trying to spit out the chocolate chips while they baked. Whatever. Looking back through the archives, I realize they're now more like these cookies, which we also enjoyed.
