  • White Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

     

    As soon as we eat all 100,000 mini pumpkin chocolate chip muffins I made on Sunday, I’m so going to make THESE cookies!

    They sound like a weird combo, but they sure do sound and look delicious, don’t they?!

    White Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

    [adapted from the giant rainbow cookies]

    makes about 18 cookies 

    1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

    1 cup of old fashioned rolled oats

    1/2 teaspoons baking soda

    1/4 teaspoon salt

    8 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted and cooled

    6 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter, melted and cooled

    1 cup brown sugar

    1/2 cup granulated sugar

    1 egg + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature

    2 teaspoons vanilla extract

    1 cup white chocolate morsels/chunks

    1/2 cup peanut butter morsels

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Add butter and peanut butter to a microwave safe bowl, and heat in 30 second increments until melted. Let cool completely.

    Mix the flour, oats, salt and baking soda in a bowl and set aside. In another bowl, mix the cooled butter/peanut butter and sugars until they are combined. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and stir until mixed. Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms – it will look crumbly at first, but it will come together. I even used my hands to bring it all together. If necessary, add 1-2 teaspoons of milk, but I did not need this. Fold in white chocolate and peanut butter chips.

    Shape the dough into a ball the size of a golfball. Place on a baking sheet two inches apart and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown. The centers should be soft and slightly puffy. Do not over bake. Let cool completely then dig in!

     

    So yummy!

    I really need to get in the habit of taking more photos to post on here when I make things!  I just pulled out my DSLR and charged the battery from being packed up from the move, so hopefully that will change once I have a little bit more time on my hands!

    BIG news coming soon!

    Stay Tuned!
