While cleaning out the fridge last week, I discovered that we had three almost full jars of peanut butter in the fridge. That fact combined with the arctic cold front hanging over the Mid-Atlantic made Peanut Butter Cookies pretty much inevitable today. I was bored with the same ones I have been making for 30 years so I scoured the web for a new recipe. I found a few that looked interesting so I combined them into this:
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Yields: ~3 Dozen
Ingredients
3/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/4 cup peanut butter, chunky
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
---
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup quick cooking oatmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Cream the butter, sugars, and peanut butter together until smooth. Add the vanilla and then the eggs, one at a time until well incorporated. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, oats, and cinnamon together. Add dry ingredients to wet slowly, until mixed well.
Spoon by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased baking sheet. Mark tops of cookies with standard peanut butter cookie fork cross.
Bake for 12-17 minutes until bottoms just start to turn golden brown.
