Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Here we are in the middle of Oatmeal Cookie Week.  I’ve been on a little kick lately with the oatmeal cookie.  I’ve been telling myself that because it’s oatmeal cookies, they’re healthy.  Ha.  Just let me live in my little delusion a while longer… there’s still cookies in the cookie jar.

Who doesn’t love a chocolate and peanut butter combo?  I had to try this combo out before I called it quits on my oatmeal cookie obsession.  These were good.  They were a bit rich too.  I couldn’t binge on these quite like I did on the Cranberry and Almond ones.  Still yummy though.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL COOKIES

Ingredients:

– 1 cup sugar
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 2 cups flour
– 1 cup butter
– 2 eggs
– 1 tsp baking soda

– 1 tsp salt

– 1/2 Tbsp vanilla
– 3 cups oats
– 1/2 cup milk
– 3/4 to 1 cup peanut butter
– 6 Tbsp cocoa

 

Directions:
– Combine the sugar, brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa in a large mixing bowl.  Mix until well combined.
– Add in the butter, eggs, vanilla and milk.  Combine.
– Fold in the oats until thoroughly mixed.
– Add the peanut butter.  Mix into batter.
– Drop 1 inch balls onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
– Bake at 350F for 12 minutes.
– Cool on a cooling rack.
– Store in an airtight container.

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
