The Trifecta: Oatmeal, PB & Choc. Chip Cookies

So what would happen if you three of the most popular cookie styles in a single cookie? Would you have a super cookie or a confused, muddled mess of flavors?

Not one to let this question go unanswered, we gave this recipe a try. We lucked out, the results were great! All of the flavors in this cookie play well together and you get a cookie that is well-balanced. Everyone wins with this cookie… Peanut Butter, Oatmeal & Chocolate Chip fans will all be pleased. If you like soft cookies, pull them out at 10 minutes as directed. I like my cookies a little crisper. I would have keep them in for another 5 minutes.

Peanut Butter-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Brown Eyed Baker

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
  3. On medium speed, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat to combine. On low speed, gradually add the flour until just combined. Stir in the oats, and then the chocolate chips.
  4. Use a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons) and drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden. Cool completely on the baking sheet and then store in an airtight container at room temperature.

  1. When you say 1/4 a stick of butter are you saying that you want two tablespoons of butter? You did not complete the ( cup) of butter. It was a little confusing. I have never seen 1/4 of a stick of butter before in a recipe. It seems to be a little lean in the butter category.

    • Oh Man! Cammy great catch, I totally messed up. It should have been 1 stick, 1/2 cup butter. I also had the wrong amount of salt. ugh! Sorry if this tripped anyone up.

  2. These cookies sound delicious. I tend to like my cookies cooked just long enough so they don’t fall apart when you pick them up, but not a second more. I will have to give these a try.

  3. Can you clarify the amount of the granulated sugar, the PB, and the oats? It just says “cup” and I want to make sure. Thanks! This is on my to-do list for this week :)

    • Good catch! Sorry about that. My NoshBot site wasn’t smart enough to handle the 1/2 and 1/3 characters… I will add that to the fix list.
