My son found this wonderful recipe when I was visiting him and his family, but I didn't get a chance to make it for them when I was there. Soooo...I made a batch when I got home and shipped them off.
Of course I had to sample one (or two) before I sent them:) Besides tasting GREAT, these cookies are just the right combination of crispy and chewy. The peanut butter doesn't overpower the chocolate chips and vice versa, with the oats rounding them out nicely.
Peanut Butter~Oatmeal~Chocolate Chip Cookies
From: For the Love of Cooking
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Using an electric mixer, combine melted butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add peanut butter and brown sugar, beating well until thoroughly combined. Add egg and vanilla and mix until smooth. In a small bowl stir together flour and baking soda, then add to cookie dough and mix just until blended. Using a mixing spoon, stir in oatmeal and chocolate chips.
Scoop balls of cookie dough and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes before removing from cookie sheets.
Oooo, yum... a triple threat!

ReplyDeleteOh what a fabulous combination Sue! I have all the ingredients, I need to find some time this weekend to make them...yum! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletePB-O-CC cookies are my fave, and have been since I was a kid! I love the texture that the oats add to these cookies. YUMMO!
ReplyDeleteWow are you like the best mum ever. They do look great, although I like the look of decorated cookies I love the taste of just baked chocolate chip cookie.
ReplyDeleteI love cookies that start with melted butter. So easy! No need to have the perfect temp butter. These look yummy, I'm a cookie junkie.
ReplyDeleteMy Hunny and I are both looking at these and drooling - big time! His fave cookie is oatmeal chocolate chip - mine is peanut butter. This could be the very glue that holds our marriage together. Thanks, Sue! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic too. You're such a sweetie to send them!
ReplyDeleteThree of my favourite cookies all baked into one. They look delicious and I'm sure your son was tickled pink when he received his package of love in the mail.
ReplyDeleteThose look fantastic. What a great combination of flavors!
ReplyDeleteI love all three of these cookies. I never thought to put them together. Thanks for sharing and they look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThese just came out of my oven and I LOVE them! Enough sweetness for me but since my kids thought it was dry thanks to the peanutbutter I sprinkled the top with a little sugar after they came out of the oven and now my kids are at em! THANK YOU
ReplyDeleteI made these yesterday and thought they were perfect! You're right that none of the ingredients overpower the others. I also love that the dough isn't super sweet, so with the chocolate chips it's perfect. Also like you mentioned, they are the perfect combo of crispy and chewy! Thanks for sharing this great recipe. Love your website!
ReplyDeleteCrispy Munchies I love all these cookies
ReplyDeleteThese are in the oven as I type! Can't wait to try one!
ReplyDeleteWaiting on the secon batch to finish baking, and just tried a yummy warm one from the first batch. I thought they'd taste a little more peanut buttery, but they are still awesome!! It's a perfect mix of everything together. This recipe is a new fave : )
