Soft and chewy Peanut Butter Cookies are enhanced with with a touch of oatmeal, roasted peanuts, and white chocolate and peanut butter chips.
The Boy loves peanut butter. Oh, I know, people say that all the time, but he takes his love to restraining order level. He has a jar of "work peanut butter." What's that? Oh, it's the extra jar of peanut butter I have to get at the Mega Market so he can dip things in it at work. Apples, celery, cookies - whatever he sees in the breakroom at work has a pretty good chance of being dipped in that jar of peanut butter. He even has little squeeze tubes of peanut butter that boggle my brain.
So when I saw that my cake stand was empty, I asked him what I should make to fill it - SURPRISE - he said peanut butter cookies. But also with white chocolate chips. And also, could I put peanut butter chips in them? And would chopped up peanuts be a possibility? And to try and feel like I was giving him something with any degree of nutritional value, I added in some ground oatmeal. Shhh...he doesn't know about that part.

Peanut Butter White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup (250 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large large eggs
- 2 ½ cup (300 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cup (150 g) whole oatmeal ground after measuring
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (200 g) peanut butter chips
- 1 cup (200 g) white chocolate chips
- 1 cup (150 g) peanuts coarsely chopped
- Flaky sea salt for tops of cookies (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, ground oats, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In your stand mixer, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars on medium speed. Let it go for 3-4 minutes or until it’s light and fluffy.
- Add vanilla and mix in. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition.
- Add dry ingredients to your stand mixer one spoonful at a time and mix until everything just comes together. Don’t over mix.
- Add in your chips and peanuts and mix until just combined. You can easily sub out any of the add-ins with whatever you’d like; chocolate chips, toffee bits, macadamia nuts.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto your baking sheet. I fit 12 per pan. If you'd like an extra bump of salt (I love salty and sweet), sprinkle on a few grains flaky sea salt before baking.
- Bake in 350° oven for 9 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and give it 3 sharps raps on the stovetop or counter. Return to the oven for 2-3 more minutes.
- Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
