You guys, I'm on a cookie frenzy lately! I don't know what the deal is, but I can't seem to make enough cookies. Perhaps I should've named my blog something to do with them at this rate. Because, yes, I've got another cookie recipe for you (and I just typed receipt instead of recipe, so I don't know what that tells you). This time, we take some peanut butter, some oatmeal, and some chocolate chips and mash them together into one delicious little devil. If you're not an oatmeal fan, not to fear, try my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies instead.
You want to know a secret? You can also make these sans chocolate chips for just a peanut butter oatmeal cookie. These no chocolate chip variety of cookies are pretty much the only thing my boyfriend will eat. He hates chocolate! I know, I know, he is missing out. Because personally, having had both the non-chips and the chips version of this particular cookie, I can say that I like the one with the chips more. They also happened to stay a bit softer longer after a couple days, so there's that too.
Quick story time - I did try to make you all something other than cookies recently. Namely, some strawberry coconut ice cream. Alas, it became a hard popsicle when put into the freezer, so it's back to the drawing board on that one. I just loooove the Trader Joe's Strawberry Coconut Ice Cream (which happens to be Vegan!), so I wanted to give it a go at home. But, I tried doing it without anything fancy like xanthan gum, which I think is probably what went wrong! Anyway, it still tasted pretty good, it was just super hard and not at all an ice cream consistency, apart from when it very first came out of the ice cream maker and was all soft-servy. Anyway! Maybe I will give it another try in the future. Or maybe I'll just buy more of the Trader Joe's variety. Hmm.
In the meantime, have this cookie!

- Peanut Butter Cookies With Reese's Chips
The other day, I was at the grocery store in the baking aisle, one of my usual haunts, and saw the Reese's Peanut Butter Chips. For all my love of Reese's, do you know, I'd never actually tried their peanut butter chips? So I bought them,...
- Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies
Last week, I was in Las Vegas for a work convention, and let me just tell you, five days in Vegas is way too many. One thing I got to indulge on while there, though, was bacon. I don't consider myself the biggest bacon person, but then I have some...
- Egg-less Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
What happens when you want to make some kind of baked good, but realize you don't have any eggs? You go looking through the vastness of the internet to find a recipe sans egg, of course. Because who wants to run to the grocery store when you were...
- Peanut Butter Middles
I saw these cookies over on the Tasty Kitchen Blog and thought they looked right up my alley. Peanut butter? Chocolate? Peanut butter in the middle of chocolate? Please and thanks. They were a big hit and fairly easy to make, though I will go into...
- Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are a go to cookie for virtually any occasion, and I have been trying to hunt down a recipe that knocks my socks off for a while. I'll probably post each time I try a new recipe, because while these ones were good, they weren't...

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat your oven to 325F. Mix together the butter and two sugars until well-blended. You can do this with a mixer or by hand, just make sure you get all the butter mixed in there evenly. Then, mix in the peanut butter. Same deal. You can use crunchy or smooth, depending on your preference.
- Next, mix in the egg, yolk, and vanilla. Then, add in the oats, baking soda and flour slowly and stir until just mixed together. If it's still a little on the too-smooth side, you can add in some more oats or flour, or if it feels too dry, add in some more peanut butter. Not a lot here, people, just enough to make it feel like traditional cookie dough. Then, finally, if you like chocolate, add in your chocolate chips. If you're not a chocolate fan, you can totally forgo them and just have yourself some peanut butter oatmeal cookies.
- Scoop onto your cookie sheet. I used a silpat-lined one, but you don't have to here. I also use a cookie scoop to make my life easier. Bake at 325F for 10-12 minutes. They won't be super browned or anything. Take those out and let them sit on the sheet for another 5 minutes to finish baking through. You can then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling before starting up another batch.

Mix together your butter and sugars. This can be done by hand or in a mixer.
Add in your peanut butter. I used crunchy.
And then it's time for your egg, yolk, and vanilla.
And finally your oats, baking soda, and flour. Add in chocolate chips at this point if you want all chocolate chip, but I decided to make some just plain peanut butter oatmeal.
These are some plain ones ready to go in the oven at 325F for 10-12 minutes.
And after they're done. Let them cool on the sheet for another 5 minutes.
Stick them on a wire rack to finish cooling.
And here are some with chocolate chips. Both versions are delicious!
