Chef's notes
Any nut or seed butters can be substituted for peanut butter in this recipe.
Use 1/3 cup less of oats, and in their place, add in 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut.
Feel free to add an extra 1/2 cup of your choice of nuts to the cookie batter.
For an ultra-decadent retro twist, feel free to add in 6 chopped up Oreos into the mix after stirring in the oats.
