OATMEAL CHOCOLATE-CHIP PEANUT-BUTTER BANANA BREAKFAST COOKIES



Oatmeal Chocolate-Chip Peanut-Butter Banana Breakfast Cookies image

What makes the perfect breakfast cookie? I've determined that people like a low-sugar cookie. They also really like oatmeal. As far chocolate? Less is more. These breakfast cookies are easy to make, assemble and serve-and are definitely not your average oatmeal-and-raisin cookies.

3 large, ripe bananas
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup peanut butter (my family prefers chunky)

1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Mash the bananas with a fork in a large bowl. Add the oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, honey, cinnamon and salt, and stir until just combined. (The mixture may be thick and hard to stir.)
  • Scoop out the dough with a cookie scoop, and form balls with your hands, pressing the dough together very tightly. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the edges start to brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

HERSHEY'S PEANUT BUTTER CHIP CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Hershey's Peanut Butter Chip Chocolate Cookies image

This recipe was originally from the gift shop at the Hershey's Chocolate Factory. I find these cookies taste like brownies ( I like to omit the Peanut Butter Chips, and use the mix in a cookie press!)

Provided by sherryweavers

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 20m

Yield 5 dozen 2.5 inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups reese's peanut butter chips
2 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
2/3 cup hershey's cocoa
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Cream butter or margarine, sugar, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy.
  • Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt -- Add to creamed mixture.
  • Stir in peanut butter chips.
  • Drop by teaspoonsful onto ungreased cookie sheet, OR chill until firm enought to handle and shape small amounts of dough into 1-inch balls.
  • Place on ungreased cookie sheet and flatten slightly with fork.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
  • Cool 1 minute before removing from cookie sheet onto wire rack.

Tips for Baking Perfect Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter. This is the star of the show, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a natural peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or oil.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking peanut butter chocolate chip cookies is 350°F (175°C).
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set around the edges and the centers are still slightly soft.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are a classic for a reason. They're delicious, easy to make, and loved by people of all ages.
