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!

I enjoy a good peanut butter and banana sandwich. Mmmm!
favorite way to eat pb? on top of a homemade bread. and in cookies isn’t too bad either.
These cookies look amazing girl! Love the cinnamon and raisin peanut butter flavor – that’s my favorite too! And in an oatmeal cookie? They sound even better! Pinned :)
I had never thought to add a different kind of peanut butter to cookies before!!! I wonder if I could find a way to add this peanut butter to a snikerdoodle to mimic cinnamon raisin toast! AHH!
You should totally try it – that would be delicious!! :)
I love peanut butter on an english muffin!
Rachel, don’t ever curb your peanut butter enthusiasm!! I am right in your corner for treats like these. Holy cow, these look to DIE for!
What a fun giveaway!! All of those peanut butters sound incredible. I would love to try the dark chocolate one. :) These cookies are such a great way to use the peanut butter though! Really love the sound of cinnamon raisin pb. Pinned!
I would never have thought to use PB in cookies aside from peanut butter ones – such a creative idea that I will certainly try. I love PB&CO’s products and might have to look up a creative way to use my chocolate peanut butter aside from eating it right off the spoon :)
Oh I want one of these cookies so much! I love oatmeal cookies – these look wonderful!
i like peanut butter many ways but my favorite will be on ants on a log and in cookies, but i also like it on toast or PB&J sandwiches or even in satay sauce with chicken kabobs!
