Bonnie's Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies
This is a relatively nutritious cookie made with peanut butter, oats and nuts.
Servings 36
Ingredients
- ¾ cup canola oil or your favorite vegetable oil
- ¾ cup peanut butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar I used light
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- ⅔ cup chopped cranberries or chocolate chips
- ⅔ cup chopped walnuts or any other nut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 and have ready a couple of ungreased baking sheets.
- With a mixing spoon, beat together oil & peanut butter. Add sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt & cinnamon. Beat in eggs & vanilla. Stir in flour; then stir in oats, cranberries and nuts.
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls' or level tablespoons onto the ungreased baking sheets and bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
- I haven't baked all my dough yet, but the yield is probably around 36 cookies.
Notes
If you use a natural peanut butter or one that's slightly runny, you may need to chill the dough just enough so that it holds its shape when scooped.
