Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

  • 2 sticks butter
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 eggs

  • 1 1/2 cups oatmeal
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cream together butter, sugars, peanut butter. Add vanilla and eggs. In separate bowl, mix together pre-sifted flour, oatmeal, baking soda and salt. Add dry mixture into cream mixture, blending thoroughly. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts. Chill overnight. Spoon partially thawed batter into rounded silver dollar pieces onto greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 19-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven when baked and rest for 5 minutes, then spatula onto brown bag paper to cool.

    Those look awesome. Remove to paper bag? Never heard of that – does it absorb some of the oil? Will have to try this. Thanks for sharing it!

    Those sound great! I just made my hubby some peanut butter chocolate no bake cookies, and I am sure he would love these as well.

Got something to say?
