Description

These Fibber McGee cookies are a hearty, rustic treat that delivers maximum crunch and chew in every bite. Packed with quick-cooking oats, coarsely chopped salted peanuts, and semi-sweet chocolate chips, they offer a complex texture that is both satisfying and nostalgic. The combination of brown and granulated sugar creates a deep caramel flavor profile, while the butter ensures a tender crumb. Perfect for potlucks, holiday baking, or simply satisfying a sweet tooth, these cookies hold their shape well and store beautifully. They are the ultimate comfort food for peanut and chocolate lovers alike.

Note

Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for proper creaming.

Use quick-cooking oats for the best texture; old-fashioned oats may result in a chewier cookie.

Coarsely chop the peanuts to ensure even distribution and consistent crunch.

The dough will be quite thick and crumbly; do not overmix after adding dry ingredients.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
