A simple, made-from-scratch dessert recipe for making a batch of peanut butter and oatmeal cookies. These tasty cookies are not overly sweet but are perfectly crumbly and make for a great dessert option during the day or alongside a cup of coffee or tea.

Tasty Oatmeal and Peanut Butter Cookies
I’ll be completely honest, peanut butter cookies in themselves are not my favorite types of cookies. I find them to be overly sweet, sugary and even heavy, which is why I love to add oats to the recipe. Combining oatmeal with peanut butter makes for a lighter and less sugary taste.
And for an added flavor and texture, you can also add a 1/2 cup of shredded coconuts into the cookie dough before rolling in to balls for baking.
