Peanut Butter Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

It's Palm Sunday, it's springtime and we are snowed in. Yes, you read it right... SNOW. We have around 6 inches or so now and what better way to spend it baking cookies! I decided to spruce up a basic oatmeal cookie recipe and add eggs (because it was weird not to) and BAM! These delicious cookies had all my boys coming back for seconds and thirds and forths. Packed with cinnamon and peanut butter butter goodness!
