Peanut butter oatmeal cookies have surpassed my normal favorite oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. They are rice, full of peanut butter flavor and studded with chocolate chips and Reese’s cups. This recipe takes my favorite food combination of peanut butter and chocolate and turns it into the perfect cookie. 

If you are a peanut butter chocolate lover you got to try these cookies out! I promise you won’t be disappointed. They are chewy, soft and full of peanut butter flavor.

Cookie Tips:

  • Use good quality brown sugar and good quality flour. 
  • Cream together the butter and sugar completely. 
  • Make sure you cut the Reese’s in small pieces. This will help hold the cookies together. If they are too large they can fall apart. 
  • Don’t over bake.

Quick Cooking or Rolled Oats:

Many oatmeal recipes call for rolled oats. Using rolled oats will give you some texture to your cookies. I have made these cookies with both rolled oats and quick cooking oats and both turn out great, they do produce a little bit different textures though.

If you want a firmer, more textured cookie use rolled oats. For a softer texture use quick cooking oats.

Make Ahead:

I love these cookies because you can make them ahead! You can make the dough ahead and freeze to keep on hand or you can cook the cookies and freeze and then thaw them when you are ready to enjoy by just leaving them out at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Either way you make these cookies ahead of time to have on hand for when your sweet tooth is calling!
