Peanut Butter Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

These flavorful Peanut Butter Oatmeal Raisin Cookies have the perfect chewy texture thanks to the oats and raisins. They’re perfectly soft and absolutely delicious! 

Today, we’re talkin’ about one of my favorite subjects: peanut buttaaaahhh!!! And how peanut butter can make the most delicious Peanut Butter Oatmeal Raisin Cookies!

I’m just so excited about peanut butter (as I usually am) and all the delicious flavors and these cookies. Because these Peanut Butter Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, you guys, were awesome.

I have an odd, confusing confession: I obviously love peanut butter, but peanut butter cookies have never been my favorite. In fact, I pass them up in favor of most cookies, and usually won’t eat one when it’s offered to me. BUT, these cookies, I couldn’t stop eating whenever I was in the kitchen.

These Peanut Butter Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are soft, and not too sweet. They have the perfect amount of bite from the oatmeal. The texture is nicely crisp on the outside, but not too far past cookie dough on the insides (!!!!). The raisins (if you’re into them) add a nice burst of sweetness and added chewy texture. And of course, put your hands together for the star of the show: Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Peanut Butter!!

Ugh, that peanut butter is simply magical. The kind folks over at Peanut Butter & Co. offered to send me a little PB care package a few months ago and of couuurse I wasn’t going to turn down the opportunity to try a whole bunch of delicious peanut butter (if you questioned that…you clearly don’t know me).

When I got the heavy box in the mail, having totally forgotten about it, I was in total peanut butter heaven. My housemates and I all sat down on the couch with apples and tasted all the different flavors, picking and choosing our favorites. Obviously, this Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Peanut Butter topped the list and I had to turn them into cookies! You’ll love this one – enjoy!
