TWD - Chunky Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Chocolate Chipsters

Isn't that a mouthful? This week's recipe comes courtesy of Stefany of Proceed with Caution. They are almost kitchen sink cookies, with oatmeal, chocolate chips, peanut butter, peanuts, and whatever else you feel like adding. (I added salted peanuts and peanut butter chips)

I really felt like the salted peanuts made the cookies. The recipe didn't call for much salt in them, and I felt like it played off the sweetness of the chips (there were a lot of chocolate chips) really well.

Letting the dough chill well was important, as it was much easier to work with and they didn't spread very much.


Ready for the oven!

The peanut butter flavor isn't very pronounced, so don't think of these as a peanut butter cookie with oatmeal. They have cinnamon and nutmeg and I don't know if I added too much nutmeg or because it was freshly ground, but I could really taste it in the end product and it was a really good flavor.

Everyone loved them and I might make these again!

Oh, yours look fantastic! I bet the addition of peanuts helped bring out the otherwise mild peanut butter flavor. Mine spread despite the dough chilling - oh well. Glad that yours were a big hit!

I love the salted nuts idea. Sweet and salty make such a great combo in a cookie. Beautiful cookies - just perfect in shape.
