These Peanut Butter Cowboy Cookies are the epitome of go big or go home. A made-from-scratch creamy peanut butter cookie dough is filled with oats, chocolate chips and salted peanuts. Scoop onto a cookie sheet and bake until golden and crispy around the edges then pour a glass of milk.
I’ve never grown out of the adventure of warm gooey chocolate filled treats and a glass of cold milk. I completely mean to keep it that way, as well. Try not to pass judgment on me. There is by all accounts a general allure and love for treats in any capacity shape a structure along these lines, I’m following in some admirable people’s footsteps without a doubt. Maybe it’s the reality treat mixture is staggeringly adaptable, or the reality they’re a speedy handheld pastry and easy to make. Notwithstanding, I can’t think about a solitary event that treats wouldn’t be a glad sight settled among different pastries.
Cowhand treats are an unequaled top pick of our own, on the grounds that they’re stacked with such a lot of goodness. For my little peanut butter lovin’ cowhands, I ribbon the treat batter with velvety peanut butter.

- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, peanut butter and vanilla. Beat for 3 minutes until smooth, fluffy and light beige in color. Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Stop to scrape the bowl periodically so all of the ingredients fully combine.
