WARNING: These cookies contain oats. That is usually a deal-breaker for me (it’s a texture thing), but despite the oats, these. were. delicious. But you may want to just pretend you didn’t see the ingredient list. Or, become a master of denial and concentrate on how healthy oats are. Either way, so yummy. As far as homemade cookies go, these were easy to make and certainly made a big enough batch for a crowd. Here’s how they came together:
First I creamed butter and peanut butter together, and then added white and brown sugars.
Next, I measured out flour, baking powder, and baking soda. This was added alternately with the liquid mixture of eggs and vanilla. Finally, I stirred in a lot of oats (it looked like a lot to me).
I used my medium scoop to create equal portions of cookie dough. These baked for about 11 minutes at 350.
While the cookies cooled, I made the “stuffing” with butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. I used my small scoop to divide the stuffing between the cookies.
Next time, I’ll use my smallest scoop for the cookies since I think that would make a much better size portion, especially when sandwiched together with a second cookie. Otherwise, I wouldn’t make any changes. I’ll even keep the oats (now that I have some in my pantry, I’ll need something to do with them anyway). I’m going to tuck this recipe away for a future pot-luck opportunity – it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
