I made you these Peanut Butter Oatmeal Two Chip Cookies. Your sweet tooth can thank me later.
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Two Chip Cookies
Have you noticed that there isn’t an over abundance of sweets & desserts on my blog? To be honest, I just don’t make a lot of sweets for a few reasons including my sometimes lack of will-power (and my husband too) and I gained a few pounds over Christmas so I am on a little bit of a health kick. Yup, the holidays got me. Too much baklava & wine!
Now if this was last year, when I was pregnant, you would probably have seen sweet after sweet after sweet on this blog {I blame my son}. 🙂 So there is hope for all of you the next time around.
Moral of the story my ramblings? When I put up a dessert recipe it is something I love. I also passed these bad boys out to a few co-workers & my daycare and they enjoyed them too (I even got a text message telling me how awesome they were-thanks Angie!).
What makes these Peanut Butter Oatmeal Two Chip Cookies so great? Creamy peanut butter mixed with oats and two types of chocolate–there is your answer! It is such a great combo packed into a little cookie.
Do you want to win some brownie points at work? Bake a batch of these Peanut Butter Oatmeal Two Chip Cookies and bring them in. I bet you will become very popular around your office.

PinDescription
A delicious cookie mixing peanut butter, oatmeal and white and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 pinch salt (I use sea salt)
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chip
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar for about 3 minutes, or until creamy.
- Add in the vanilla and egg. Mix until well combined, scraping the sides as you go.
- Add the peanut butter and continue to mix until combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix until the flour is just combined (don’t mix too long as the dough mixture will begin to get very hard to work with).
- Mix in the oats and chips until just combined (again-do not mix for very long- maybe a quick 10 seconds).
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, put 12 cookies onto each baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes (12 minutes for chewier cookies). Remove from oven and let cool.
- Repeat the process for the remaining dough.
- Serve with a glass of milk or store in an air tight container once cooled.
Notes
You can substitute the 1/2 cup all-purpose and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour for 1 cup all-purpose flour or just 1 cup of whole wheat flour. This depends on your baking preferences. You can substitute the 1 cup brown sugar for white sugar if you desire (the brown sugar gives them a nice dark, rich flavor and color).

Thanks! 🙂 Hope you like them and like I said, pass some out to the family & friends–that way you won’t eat them all! That is definitely one thing I have learned through food blogging.

Wow, peanut butter and chocolate chips??? This cookie has it all. I love the addition of oats, adds some extra chewy-ness. I have the same willpower issues with sweets. So if I make something for the blog, I eat one or two and then send the rest to work with Mike.
