Wee Willie Winkee Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

"This was adaptated from a cook book where each chapter was dedicated to special guest - in this case for the cookie chapter it was Mother Goose. When made with whole wheat pastry flour and leaving out the chocolate chips, I also refer to these as "better than Cheerios for breakfast cookies". My kids always loved them, especially with the chocolate chips! You can use smooth or chunky p'nut butter, and quick or old fashioned oats. These are a firm cookie, great for sack lunches. Cooking time is per cookie sheet."

  1. Nice but erring on the dry side - I made this into a bar cookie slice due to lack of time and I also thought it might not be as dry as individual cookies. It seems to always be a bit of a problem with baking with peanut butter. We still enjoyed them and they are great with icecream as then it doesn't matter if they crumble !!! Made for ZWT8
     
  2. Great chewy cookie! I followed the instructions except I could not find whole wheat pastry flour so I used a combination of whole wheat flour and all purpose to keep that lighter consistency that the pastry flour would provide. Excellent flavors, nice slight crisp on the outside and fluffy goodness inside. I did use the option of adding chocolate chips and made the "mistake" of using crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy but that actually was an added bonus. I received 50 nice little round cookies using a small cookie scoop. Perfect for bagged lunches and just an afternoon treat. So glad I found this during ZWT8.
