Freezer-friendly oatmeal peanut butter cookies

April 28, 2011 by Emily Hill 22 Comments

In our home we love a good batch of cookies…or two, and as delicious as they are fresh from the oven, Nathan and I enjoy them just as much fresh from the freezer. Seriously the best treat ever! So far we’ve found most every cookie freezes well, from a good coconut oatmeal cookie or my favorite peanut butter cookie to this delicious crunchy whole wheat cookie. I bet even these healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies or bar cookies would work!

The latest success story is a batch of oatmeal peanut butter cookies, one of which I’m currently eating while typing this post. (By the time you read this post I will have had another night’s worth of frozen oatmeal peanut butter cookies…yum!)

I love peanut butter cookies and the added touch of oatmeal in this recipe makes them super delicious. They are soft, chewy and perfect!

I love a cookie that freezes well and this recipe is no exception. Enjoy!
Author: Emily ~ isthisREALLYmylife.com
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1½ cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cups quick-cooking oats
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl cream together butter, sugars and peanut butter until smooth. Add vanilla and then beat in the eggs one at a time until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt and stir into the creamed mixture. (Or do what I do and don't use a separate bowl; just add them into the creamed mixture and mix well. One less bowl to clean!) Mix in the oats until just combined.
  4. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes (we baked them for 13) or until lightly browned around the edges. Don't over bake...but if you do, trust me, they're still tasty. Cool and store in an airtight container (or in a Ziploc bag in the freezer).

      Honestly, they do! And I think you could even add a bit more peanut butter (and probably a little more flour to counteract the extra creaminess) and they’d be even better. :)

    Where have these been all my life??? Up in college I became the house dessert baker, which was fantastic because I got the chance to do one of my favorite things all the time! However, during finals baking had to wait and while everyone understood that, they were sad there were no cookies on the counter, so a yummy freezer friendly cookie will certainly do the trick. I just baked these for the first time and they are AMAZING. Soft and chewy and the dough itself was delish-it’s a wonder it made it’s way to the oven! Thank you so much for sharing! I’ll be sure to try out more of your recipes very soon!

    These cookies are amazing. Not overly sweet and too peanut buttery. An excellent choice for breakfast. I found 10 minutes to be the perfect baking time. One batch made 7 dozen perfect small cookies. Thanks for posting.
