These Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies are a delightful blend of nutty peanut butter, wholesome oats, and sweet sugars, creating a chewy and comforting treat for any occasion.


Ingredients

Cookie Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  3. Add egg and vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
