Our Test Kitchen generally tests recipes like this with commercially made peanut butter vs. natural ones. (Here&#8217;s their pick for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-peanut-butter\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-peanut-butter\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best peanut butter<\/a> for baking) Natural peanut butter may affect the texture of the cookies, possibly rendering it more crumbly.<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;\"><strong>Oats:<\/strong> There are a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-oats\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-oats\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">types of oats<\/a> out there, but the best for baking are quick-cooking and old-fashioned oats. The latter lends a chewier texture to these peanut butter oatmeal cookies.<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;\"><strong>Brown sugar:<\/strong> The main reason we love brown sugar for this recipe is its rich, molasses-like flavor, and it combines more easily with peanut butter compared to white sugar for extra soft and puffy cookies. (This is thanks to the air pockets that form when creaming the two ingredients.) Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/light-and-dark-brown-sugar\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/light-and-dark-brown-sugar\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">light or dark brown sugar<\/a>\u2014dark will add even more molasses flavor.<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;\"><strong>Eggs: <\/strong>The glue for many a baking project, eggs act as a binding agent and help your dough come together. Eggs also help the cookies spread out when baking.<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;\"><strong>Baking soda: <\/strong>For soft, chewy cookies, rather than flat, hard discs reminiscent of hockey pucks, a rising agent like baking soda is a must.

It happens for several reasons. If there aren&#8217;t enough air pockets in the dough, your cookies won&#8217;t puff up when baking. The easy fix? Cream the peanut butter and sugar well so it&#8217;s light and fluffy. Another easy trick for avoiding flat cookies is to chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. The peanut butter will harden, which means it will melt slower in the oven, and the cookies won&#8217;t spread quite as much when baking.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, don&#8217;t forget to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/testing-baking-powder-and-soda\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/testing-baking-powder-and-soda\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">test your baking soda<\/a> to see if it&#8217;s still active. There are a couple of ways to do this, but the easiest is to pour a little baking soda into a bowl and add a splash of vinegar. If it fizzes, you&#8217;re good to break out the mixing bowl!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can you use old-fashioned oats in cookies?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can definitely use old-fashioned oats for these cookies and most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/20-favorite-oatmeal-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/20-favorite-oatmeal-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">oatmeal recipes<\/a>. Also known as whole rolled oats, old-fashioned oats lend a chewy texture to your oatmeal cookies. If you want a texture more like quick oats, pulse the old-fashioned oats in a food processor a few times to break them down into smaller pieces.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why are my oatmeal cookies dry?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The simplest way to ensure your cookies don&#8217;t wind up dry is to avoid overbaking them. Too long in the oven can make your oatmeal cookies go hard. For recipes with flour, it&#8217;s important to accurately measure your ingredients before assembling the dough. If there&#8217;s too much flour in your dough, it will dry out your cookies.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peanut butter oatmeal cookies are effortless to make and require only five ingredients.

I rolled the dough into small walnut size balls, flattened slightly and cooked for 9 min.  Even though I doubled the recipe, it almost made 3 doz. No doubt these will go fast, made my first batch thursday and have asked to make more tonight.
