Peanut Butter Chocolate Craisin Oatmeal Cookie

Peanut butter chocolate craisin oatmeal cookie. Try saying that ten times fast! A few weeks ago, I wanted cookies, and pulled out the monster cookie recipe I use frequently. I made some modifications and these cookies happened. I made them again yesterday, and think they are quite good. Peanut butter oatmeal cookies filled with chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate!) and craisins. They are delicious, and I like to think they are more "healthy" as I cut the sugar down a lot!
