Oh friends, these Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies are going to be a new favorite! I love the combination of oatmeal and peanut butter…and throw in some chocolate chips (optional of course) and you have one of my favorite cookies ever. I would even add in raisins to these too, but I know the raisin police might come at me.

These are actually a pretty filling cookie…the oats, the peanut butter…so good! And I’ve been known to enjoy these for breakfast. I mean, with a cup of coffee or a cup of tea? Seriously good.
Recipe Ingredients:
Butter. I use salted butter in this recipe, but you can use unsalted butter if that’s what you prefer.Peanut butter. I recommend using a creamy peanut butter like Jif or Skippy. Using a natural peanut butter in this recipe will result in a more crumbly cookie.Granulated sugarLight brown sugar. You can also use dark brown sugar as well.Eggs. I always use large eggs in my baking recipes. Using extra large eggs will alter the result.Vanilla extractKosher saltBaking sodaAll purpose flourOld fashioned oats. These are also know as “rolled oats”. You can use Quick Oats in this recipe if that’s all you have on hand, just reduce the amount of oats by 1/4 cup. Quick oats are simply old fashioned oats cut into pieces for faster cooking!
Optional Add-Ins:
As you can see in the pictures I added in chocolate chips to my cookies. I love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. BUT these are delicious plain as well! Here are a few more add-in options to get creative:
Semi-sweet chocolate chipsWhite chocolate chipsChopped WalnutsPistachiosChopped candy like peanut butter cups or snickersDried cherries or dried cranberries

Tips For the Best Cookies
How To Store Homemade Cookies
These cookies are best stored at room temperature in an airtight container. I like to enjoy cookies up to 3 days after they’re baked for best freshness. They will be FINE up to 5 days (some may say longer), but I really don’t like to eat cookies more than a few days old. That’s just me being a cookie snob! BUT I also stand behind 3 days. They just lose a little magic after 3 days.
Can I Freeze the Dough and Bake Later?
Oh yes, absolutely you can freeze this dough. Check out all my tips for Freezing Cookie Dough. The method I outline in that post works perfectly for these cookies. You can also bake these cookies and freeze them after they’re baked. Just make sure to freeze them in an airtight container. I recommend up to 30 days for best freshness, and then thaw at room temperature.
