Then it hit me, why not take my favorites and create the ultimate loaded cookie!? So I got to work, and create one wonderful cookie that gives you your favorite flavors.

Tips For Making Perfect Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Dough | Sometimes depending on how you measure your ingredients, you could end up with extra soft or even dry dough. Make sure to measure correctly. Look for the mixture to be formed and not too sticky. If it seems sticky add a little bit more flour and blend.
Beating Sugar and Butter | This step gets overlooked often. You need to beat the butter and sugar until it creams together. It will give you a light and tender cookie if you take the time. You want to cream the butter and sugar together for around 2-3 minutes. You will see mixture gets a lighter color and become fluffier in texture.
Butter | Talking about butter you want to make sure you allow it to soften at room temperature, vs. melting it. Melting it can affect the texture of your cookies.
Eggs | Room temperature eggs just like butter are essential. When you use cold eggs, it can change the texture of your cookies. For a light, fluffy cookie, allows the eggs to reach room temperature.
Preheating Oven | Take the time to preheat the oven as you start mixing your cookies up. Allow it to reach temperature for at least five minutes. This will give your cookies an even heat that they need for baking properly.
Cookie Scoop | Invest in a cookie scoop, so you get the same size cookies each time. The reason is if the cookies are the same size, they will bake evenly. Each cookie will have the same texture instead of some being underbaked, and others overbaked.
Baking Mat | Consider buying a Silpat baking mat or even parchment paper. This will help you remove cookies easily from the pan without worrying they will stick. It also makes cleanup a breeze.
How Do You Keep Cookies Chewy
If you love that soft, chewy texture, here is how to keep your cookies chewy. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before you transfer to a cooling rack. Then once they cool place in a sealable bag or airtight container. I have found that placing a half a slice of bread in with the cookies will keep them nice and soft and chewy. Sounds weird but it works!
Can You Freeze Peanut & Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yes! You can freeze Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Allow them to cool completely on a cooling rack, and then transfer into a freezer-friendly container or sealable bag. You can keep them in the freezer for 2-3 months. Just thaw and enjoy the cookies.
I love to freeze what I know we won’t eat right away. Then when I get a craving pull a cookie or two out and allow it to thaw. I have even tossed them in the microwave to give it that fresh out of the oven taste.
I hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as I do. You get the mix of three famous cookies all in one batter.

These look amazing! I love using oats in cookies, and I bet the peanuts just make these divine. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
THANK YOU for this! Because I am the mother of a high school senior. (I promise this relates.) And in my effort to figure out EVERY LAST DETAIL IN ADVANCE, I have been thinking that I need to have some PB/CCC/oatmeal cookies around on graduation day to offer grad guests since dinner will be late (after the evening ceremony). I meant to develop a recipe, but now I can cross that item off my to-do list (leaving only approximately 759 items remaining) because this looks perfect! Pinned and printed…so glad I stopped by from Turn It Up Tuesday! 🙂
Pinned…these sound amazing! 🙂
