Peanutty Oatmeal Cookies

April 27, 2009 by my1stwordwaschocolate

This weekend I made a batch of these hearty cookies for my husband. He can't do dairy, so I needed to develop a recipe that used oil rather than butter. Here's the recipe I came up with.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Dry ingredients

1 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

3/4 cup of rolled oats

1/4 cup of chopped roasted, salted peanuts

Wet ingredients

1 egg

1/2 cup of canola or vegetable oil

1/2 cup of granulated sugar

1 Tablespoon of molasses

1/4 cup of shredded coconut

1/4 cup of peanut butter

Whisk dry ingredients together until combined, then whisk wet ingredients together. Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until thoroughly mixed. With a one inch ice cream scoop portion the cookies onto a parchment lined sheet pan. Bake for 13-15 minutes.

I keep thinking the next time I make these I'll add semisweet chocolate chips. I'll report back if I do, but I bet it would be delicious.
