Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies: A Perfect Blend of Nutty, Sweet, and Chocolatey

Enjoy these cookies warm with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee for the ultimate indulgence.
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze them for longer storage (up to 3 months). To freeze, place cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip-top bag.
Variations:

Add a handful of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, for extra crunch and flavor.
Try using milk chocolate or dark chocolate chunks for a different chocolatey taste.
For a more indulgent treat, drizzle melted peanut butter or chocolate over the cookies once they’ve cooled.
FAQ:

Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats? While old-fashioned oats provide a chewier texture, you can use quick oats if that’s what you have on hand. The cookies may be slightly softer with quick oats, but they’ll still be delicious.

Can I make these cookies gluten-free? Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check the other ingredients for gluten, such as the oats, and use certified gluten-free oats if necessary.

Can I use peanut butter with added sugar? It’s best to use natural peanut butter or the kind without added sugar so you can control the sweetness of the cookies. Peanut butter with added sugar might make the cookies overly sweet.
