Something random happened to me this week… in anticipation of the new season premiere of Project Runway (one of my favorite shows), I decided to bake something. It happened rather suddenly, so I didn’t have a lot of time to plan (otherwise I would have gone to the craft store, bought some cute cookie cutters in fashion shapes and made and decorated sugar cookies!)… so, I just opted for a quick and easy bar recipe.I think, I have decided to make this a kind of regular thing, so… I need to start thinking about the premiere of Mad Men in 10 (long) days and figure out what perfect thing to bake for it’s new season. Maybe cigarette shaped sugar cookies? Ha ha. I kid, I kid. Seriously though, that would be fitting. Hmmmm…
Back to Project Runway… these cookies are pretty much the antithesis of Project Runway. They are easy, homey and hardy.
I think I would have liked them better if I had taken them out of the oven a little quicker. Usually, I undercook my bars. This time around, I slightly overcooked them. The oats definitely lend a chewy, interesting texture to the bars… but, I’m beginning to think that maybe I don’t care for peanut butter in bar cookies. It makes them a little sandy for my tastes. I like gooey bars, not sandy ones.

The cookies look good, but I REALLY want to talk about Project Runway! I love it and just finished watching the 1st episode. When I saw Jerry's design come down the runway, I new he would be the first one gone! I'm excited it's back on.
These look yummy! I love anything with chocolate and peanut butter.
so fantastic! this might have to be my next chocolate chip cookie fix. ps- so glad to have found a blog from someone else living in the south!
those bars look delish. and it sounds like you get inspired to bake by what you watch. be careful NEVER to watch Waitress, that great semi-recent movie with keri russell. you will be making pies for the next year!
