Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Maple Cookies
These Peanut Butter Oatmeal Maple Cookies are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside just the way a perfect cookie should be! Oatmeal and a hint of maple take these cookies to a new level.
We love peanut butter cookies. You’ll find my all-time favourite peanut butter cookie recipe here. These peanut butter oatmeal maple cookies are well-loved by my family too.
Quick oats give these peanut butter cookies a lovely texture, and the subtle hint of maple is a nice surprise for the tastebuds. For a healthier, no-flour version, try this version.
An old school friend gave me the recipe for these cookies 20 years ago, and I’ve made them regularly ever since. They’re a soft and chewy cookie, which is, in my opinion, the best kind of cookie. They’re amazing.
Bonus: they’re very easy to make!
Another bonus? This recipe makes quite a few cookies. You’ll get 3-4 dozen out of one batch.
