Loaded Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies! (see recipe below)
Over the recent Memorial Day holiday weekend, I briefly told you all that I had pretty much fallen in love with a new cookie.
I immediately went to my friend Heather and told her that I absolutely needed the recipe for these things…
Within a couple days I had the recipe in my possession, and by Friday, the recipe had been made.
Now, I’m not sure where the original recipe for these came from…Heather got it from a co-worker of hers, she adapted it and gave me her version of it, then I adapted it (and cut it in half because the ingredient sizes were enormous) to make my version of it.
It’s almost kinda like that game “telephone” we used to play when I was younger…keep passing the message along and see how much it changes by the time it gets to the last person.
And you want to know the funny apart about me making these (which also shows you how much I don’t pay attention sometimes…)? They’re flourless, yet I had no idea until I literally had my hand in the flour jar, scanning the recipe over and over trying to figure out where the flour was. Nope…it’s not there.
Oh, and they’re pretty darn delicious, too.
Loaded Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup 1 stick butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1-1/4 cups peanut butter I used about 1/2 a jar of Skippy Natural
- 3 eggs beaten
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips I used a bag of milk chocolate & peanut butter
- 1 cup white choc. chips
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 4-1/2 cups quick cooking oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the first 7 ingredients. Mix very well. Add the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and raisins. Mix well. Add oats, stirring in about 2 cups at a time. Mix well. Make each cookie about the size of a golf ball and put on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until lightly brown. Let cool a minute before removing from cookie sheets and cool on a wire rack.
- Enjoy!
I know we sure did over here.

Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
These cookies look so good! I’m a fan of oatmeal raisin but adding peanut butter, white chocolate and chocolate chips? Sign me up! These would be great to bring into work! :)
Khushboo says
Is it bad my mind is wondering what these would taste like with some vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between?? Too die for!!!
Courtney says
Not bad at all…
Actually, it’s quite tasty ;)
Britta says
craving these right. this. second. mmmm, they look amazing!! Cant wait to make some!
Angela @ Health Happiness & Harmony says
These look absolutely fabulous! I can see myself having to freeze some and give some away to control myself! ;) Maybe substituting Splenda and dark chocolate chips would make them um, healthier, and then we can indulge more?
Courtney says
I say stick with the real stuff. ;)
Angela @ Health Happiness & Harmony says
Very true! Nothing beats the real stuff sometimes. Can’t wait to try them. :)
Sabrina @Work It Ms Jackson says
I seriously think you just became my new best friend. You were already close with all the other delicious recipes and workouts you post, but I am a HUGE peanut butter and oatmeal fan and the fact that you used a mixed bag of peanut butter and chocolate chips is EXACTLY what I was thinking about using when I was reading this post. I can not WAIT to make these!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says

Courtney says
Hmmm…ya know, my healthier guacamole is ALWAYS a hit! http://sweettoothsweetlife.com/2010/09/03/holy-moly-healthier-guacamole/
Bring that with a bag of tortilla chips and you’re golden!
If you want something sweet, my friends always love these dark chocolate turtle graham bars: https://www.sweettoothsweetlife.com/recipes/2010/12/06/dark-chocolate-turtle-graham-bars/
Good luck, and have fun! LOVE girls’ nights! :)

Lindsay @ Fuel My Family says
Love white chocolate in cookies. I may have to try these out tnight…even gluten free!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Really, 60 cookies? If so, they’re only about 115 calories a piece, which isn’t bad at all! :)
Courtney says
Really? That’s awesome!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
Yep, these will be made. Like, soon. They have all of my favorite things! Thanks for sharing!!

krystal@coffeecardiogoddess says

Courtney says
Or you could freeze them! :)
Jodi @ I Run for Food and Wine says
These look so good. I can’t be trusted around anything that has peanut butter in it.

BTW, I made two of the cupcakes from your recipes page (the Oreo cupcake and PB cup cupcake) for a bake sale at our church. We surpassed our goal and everyone was RAVING about them, especially the Oreo ones. :)
Courtney says
YAY! So glad they were a hit! :)
B @ Crags and Veggies says
Yum! I love peanut butter and oatmeal cookies separately so very much! Can’t wait to try them combined!!

Tara Deal says
These cookies look delicious!!! I will for SURE be trying them soon. I love cookies with lots of stuff in them :)
Michelle (Better with Berries) says
These look AMAZING! I’ve somehow never used white chocolate chips in a cookie. That needs to change :-)
Brittany says
If you need anyone to take some cookies off your hands, I’ll be willing to. You know, just to help you out. :) They look delicious!!
Julianna @ Julianna Bananna says
these look so good! pinning em!
Annie @ What's Annie Making? says
Oh my!!! So much going on with one cookie. I love that they are flour less too:) Definitely making these really soon.
Sam @ Fit for My Fork says
I love that these are flourless. They look amazing, really soft and chewy. Mmmm…!
Marie says
Mmm, these are so good! I reduced the sugar & chocolate chips a bit and used rolled oats since it was all I had (and was too lazy to put it through the magic bullet), and they still came out great! They didn’t spread much with the changes and didn’t look as great as yours. I’ve sometimes done calorie count comparisons when reducing sugars and it doesn’t save much since using the full sugar makes more cookies. I can’t wait to try the full recipe next time! I reduced the chocolate chips because my husband doesn’t like his cookie loaded with them; crazy! I scooped them all out and flash froze the cookies before pouring them into a ziploc so that we can bake them whenever we want for fresh cookies. ;) My husband and twins loved them. Thanks so much for all the great recipes!
Courtney says
Glad you liked them! Great idea to freeze ’em like that too :)
Shannon says
These cookies look so yummy! :) But don’t all of your recipes look perfect? I think so! :)
Jennifer says
Courtney–A HUGE thank you to your friend Heather for sharing the recipe with you and to YOU for sharing it with us. I made them two nights ago and realized after I finished baking that I forgot the raisins! Oops! They still tasted AMAZING!!!! I got 48 cookies out of the batch; I used the medium cookie dough scooper (not sure what it’s really called-haha!) from pampered chef, which is about 2 tbsp each. I took about 3/4 of them to work yesterday and there were only 6 cookies left! Everyone raved about how delicious they were! Sooo easy to make!
lisa g. says
Wow those look delicious! Ive actually made your crackled sugar cookies & turned those into snickerdoodles by rolling them in sugar mixed with cinnamon. My Q for the cookies here is do they dry out & get crunchy? I want a moist cookie. Alot of oatmeal cookies dry up quickly. Thank You!
Courtney says
Ooo great idea! I’d say after a few days they start to get a little dryer (as most cookies do). But you could always store them in a container with a piece of bread – that definitely helps!
lisa g. says
Is there no flour for these cookies? Thanks!
Courtney says
No flour! :)
