Happy National Oatmeal Cookie Day! 
I’ve wanted to post this recipe for a long time now and I figured today would be the perfect day to do so. I mean, who doesn’t like oatmeal cookies? Crazy people, that’s who.
Not only are these oatmeal cookies. They are peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal cookies! In other words two of my favorite flavors together in one cookie. Score!
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
“A soft and chewy oatmeal cookie recipe that is full of fiber and whole grains. Sure to impress the chocolate and peanut butter lover!”
Ingredients:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup quick cooking rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Do NOT use regular “old-fashioned” oats! You must use the quick cooking rolled oats, which look like this. ↑
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray.
- Combine the first five ingredients [through salt] in a medium bowl.
- In another bowl, beat sugar, butter, peanut butter and buttermilk together.
- Stir in flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Add chocolate chips.
- Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place on prepared cookie sheets, 2 inches apart. Flatten gently with the back of a spoon.
- Bake 10-14 minutes.
Yield: 2 dozen cookies
