Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was making a buttload of cookies and realized I ran out of brown sugar. OMG. The horror. How the hell could I have possibly ran out? I thought I had an extra bag in storage, but it was nowhere to be found. Maybe I just mis-remembered this. Oh well. I just found a substitute and that made it super crisp but super yummy.
