Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
I posted the recipe for these chewy peanut butter oatmeal cookies on my old blog, but they didn’t make the transfer to the new site. They’re everyone’s (meaning mine and Russell’s) favorite cookies so deserve to be posted again!
I might add, that I’ve had them for breakfast AND dinner tonight and can confirm that they are delish with coffee, tea, and wine!
Ingredients
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup extra chunky peanut butter
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well by hand. Refrigerate dough while pre-heating oven to 350 degrees. Place spoonfuls of dough onto greased cookie sheets, leaving plenty of room in between cookies. The cookies tend to spread out quite a bit while cooking. Bake to desired crispiness (10-12 minutes).

In the picture, I used a teaspoon of dough, which made a little over 4 dozen 2ish inch cookies

September 9, 2011 at 4:05 PM (650 days ago)Just curious if I could cut back on the sugar since the peanut butter I have has sugar (and white chocolate!) in it? Thanks!

So, for your white chocolate peanut butter (which, by the way, sounds divine!) you could maybe add extra peanut butter and cut out half or all of the the white sugar, depending on how sweet it is.

September 13, 2011 at 5:30 PM (645 days ago)I just made these without white or brown sugar and substituted with 1 c. Natural Jif PB (not chunky), 1 1/4 c. oats, 1/4 honey. They puff up and make a very thick cake type cookie. With a glass of milk they are addictive! The second 1/2 of the batch I added raisins and flattened them out very thin on the pan before baking…they look good too!

September 18, 2011 at 1:51 PM (641 days ago)Hi,
I made these today and substitued almost a cup of creamy peanut butter instead of the crunchy pb. I also added about 5 ounces of peanut butter morsels. The result was devine and the texture was perfect. I will probably add chocolate chip morsels instead of the pb ones next time. I think that would be great also. Awesome recipe!
