Peanut Butter Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Last week my boyfriends grandma broke both of her ankles at the same time.  I really wanted to make her some "get well soon" cookies but I didn't know what she would like.  I asked one of his aunts and she said she loves peanut butter oatmeal raisin cookies, but to make them low sugar for her.  So I went searching for a recipe and came across this one and decided to cut the sugar in half.   They turned out really good and I hope these cookies put a smile on her face.  I didn't get to go to San Diego and deliver them myself, but I heard they were greatly appreciated and enjoyed by all.  

Get well soon Grandma Thor!!
