Say yes to a Fab creamy/ peanut buttery filling sandwiched in oatmeal cookies, hello Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies!!! Yummy either chewy or crispy!
These cookies are like the girl scout oatmeal peanut butter sandwich cookies only better. How can that be, you ask? I don’t know, but somehow, they just are. My daughter found this recipe on Allrecipes on their top 20 list for cookies and I tell you it’s on that list for darn good reason. These cookies are amazing. The filling is super creamy and peanut buttery delicious and the two outer cookies are yummy oatmeal cookies with a great chewy texture. If you prefer a crisper cookie just add a little extra time on the baking time. You’ve got to give these a try. Super YUM!!!
Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
Cookies
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
Filling
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 1/2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- For the Cookies: In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter or margarine, 1/2 cup peanut butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Add egg and beat well.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add these dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Stir. Add oatmeal and stir.
- Drop by teaspoons onto the greased baking sheet, and press each mound down with a fork to form 1/4 inch thick cookies. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, or until cookies are light brown.
- For the Filling: Cream 3 tablespoons butter or margarine with the confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter, and the cream. Spread filling onto half of the cooled cookies, then top with the other half to form sandwiches.

My husbands two favorite cookies are oatmeal and nutter butter. Your cookies combine both flavors. I am going to have to whip up a batch of these cookies for him!
