Description

These Peanut Butter Jumbos are the ultimate comfort food treat, combining the rich, nutty depth of creamy peanut butter with the sweetness of brown and granulated sugars. Loaded with rolled oats for a hearty texture and studded with semi-sweet chocolate chips and candy-coated chocolates, every bite is a balance of soft chewiness and crunchy surprises. The cookies hold their shape beautifully while remaining tender on the inside, making them perfect for sharing at potlucks, serving with coffee, or packing for a sweet afternoon snack. They are a nostalgic favorite that brings a burst of energy and joy to any occasion.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Lightly grease cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and eggs until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Blend in the baking soda, vanilla extract, and rolled oats until well combined.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips and candy-coated chocolate pieces until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop out about 1/3 cup of dough for each cookie.
  7. Place the dough balls on the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 4 inches apart.
  8. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the centers are firm and the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Note

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

You can substitute natural or chunky peanut butter for a different texture. For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter, but note that the cookies may spread more and change color slightly.

Feel free to customize the candy-coated pieces with M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, or chocolate-covered raisins based on your preference.

These cookies are quite soft when first removed from the oven. Letting them cool on the pan for 5 minutes helps them set properly before moving.
