Peanut Butter Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe
Description
Beginning with creamed butter, sugars, and peanut butter, the recipe blends in eggs and vanilla before incorporating oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and a selection of mix-ins including walnuts, raisins, toasted coconut, and dark chocolate chips. The batter is thick and sticky, dropped onto baking sheets and slightly flattened before baking at 375°F.
Baking time affects the texture: shorter baking produces softer, chewier cookies while extended time crisps the edges. The oats provide a hearty chew, and toasted nuts and coconut contribute crunch and flavor depth. The raisins and dark chocolate offer complementary sweetness and richness.
The recipe allows substitutions for add-ins to suit preferences, and salted butter is recommended for balanced flavor unless adjusted otherwise. Cooling the cookies thoroughly maintains their texture before storage.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter at room temperature, salted
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- ½ cup peanut butter preferably all-natural
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup walnuts toasted and coarsely chopped
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut toasted
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large-sized bowl beat the butter, sugar and peanut butter for 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and rolled oats. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat just until incorporated (the batter will be sticky). Stir in the nuts, raisins, coconut, and chocolate chips.
- Using a large cookie scoop, drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Flatten the cookies slightly.
- Bake the cookies for 8-12 minutes. The longer you bake the cookies the more crisp they will be.
- Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Store completely cooled cookies in a sealed container.
Notes
- Old-fashioned rolled oats add hearty texture; quick oats can be used as a substitute, but avoid steel-cut oats.
- Salted butter is preferred; if using unsalted butter, increase salt to ¾ teaspoon for proper seasoning.
- Customize add-ins by swapping walnuts, raisins, coconut, and chocolate for preferred nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate varieties, totaling about 3-4 cups.
- Bake time influences texture: shorter for softer cookies, longer for crispier edges.
