LOADED PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Loaded Peanut Butter Cookies image

These thick and chewy flourless cookies give off major comfort food vibes. The oats and coconut give them a chewy texture and heft, while the peanut butter cup candies double down on the chocolate-peanut butter profile. For the ideal soft and chewy texture, make sure to bake the cookies until they are very softly set at the edges and then cool slightly on the baking sheets to set as they will be delicate while warm.

Time 1h

Yield 12 loaded peanut butter cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped mini peanut butter cups

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Spread the oats on a large baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool. Line 2 separate baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine the peanut butter and butter in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium speed. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda and beat until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, then with a rubber spatula, stir in the toasted oats, chocolate chips, coconut and peanut butter cups.

  • Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the edges of the cookies are set but still soft, 20 to 24 minutes. If any cookies are misshapen, use a spatula to press the edges back into a round shape. Let the cookies cool 10 minutes on the pans, then transfer to a rack to cool completely (the cookies will hold together best when fully cooled).

Tips:

  • Use a stand mixer: A stand mixer will make it much easier to cream together the butter, sugar, and peanut butter. If you don't have a stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer, but it will take a bit longer.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop will help you get evenly sized cookies. If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: The cookies are done baking when the edges are just starting to brown. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: The cookies will continue to soften as they cool. If you store them before they are completely cool, they may break.
