Major sigh of relief that tomorrow is Friday and this weekend will be somewhat relaxed. Still working Friday night but back to normal. Last night Dee and I had our usual sweets craving so I ran straight to the cabinet. No chocolate chips! Dangit! So these Peanut Butter Oat Drop Cookies had to do.
I have to say they were certainly yummy, especially with a cup of English Tea Time. Here's the recipe from the "Better Homes and Gardens New Cook" (Google Affiliate Ad), or as my family calls it, "The red and white cookbook." This book is 4 generations of being the go to cookbook for the women in my family.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups quick oats
- 1 cup chopped peanuts
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 F.
In a large mixing bowl beat butter and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed about 30 seconds or until combined.
Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.
Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer; stir in any remaining flour.
Stir in rolled oats and peanuts.
Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake about 10 minutes in preheated oven or until edges lightly browned.
Transfer cookies to wire rack and let cool.
