Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies – The perfect combination of a peanut butter cookie and an oatmeal cookie! Easy to make and so tasty!
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Peanut butter and oatmeal cookies are two of my favorites! Combining the two cookies into one makes them even better! For this recipe, I used a basic oatmeal cookie recipe and added in some peanut butter and they become a soft cookie that is hard not to eat quite a few of! You can also add in chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or peanut butter chips to make these cookies even more exciting but they taste great as is too. The recipe makes about 24 cookies but you can easily double the recipe if you want to make a bigger batch.

What other mix-ins can I put in oatmeal cookies?
Some other fun varieties of oatmeal cookies include –
Why are my oatmeal cookies hard?
You probably baked them a bit too long. The key with cookies is that they continue to bake once they are pulled out of the oven so while you don’t want to pull them out as raw cookie dough, you do want to keep in mind that they will crisp up a little still.
