For a richer flavor, use natural peanut butter, but be sure to stir it well before measuring. Ensure the mixture boils for the precise amount of time; under-boiling may result in soft cookies that don't set properly, while over-boiling can lead to dry, crumbly cookies. If you prefer a slightly softer cookie, reduce the amount of oats by 1/2 cup. Add a pinch of sea salt to the mixture to enhance the sweetness and peanut butter flavor. For variation, fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts after adding the oats.

Jun 2, 2023I used old-fashioned oats instead of quick-cooking oats, and they turned out great, just a little chewier!

Oct 8, 2022My cookies were a little too soft. Next time, I'll try boiling the mixture for an extra 30 seconds.
