These Amish Oatmeal Cookies came from an old cookbook and my family has been loving them for over 30 years.
If you are a fan of Amish recipes, you will love these Amish Caramel Dumplings! Always a treat and delicious with ice cream.
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love the softness of this delicious oatmeal cookie. It’s also super versatile but the addition of chocolate chips is wonderful. We are a fan of old fashioned recipes and this one fits the bill. It’s great for any occasion and they keep well. Add this one to your recipe list.
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Butter
- Peanut butter (I use crunchy)
- White sugar
- Brown sugar
- Eggs
- Milk
- Vanilla
- All-purpose flour
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Quick uncooked oats
- Chocolate chips
SWAPS
You can always switch our the chocolate chips to another kind, or dried cranberries, you can also add in nuts if you prefer. Raisins are always a great addition too. I haven’t tried almond butter but I think it would work.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
These cookies are pretty simple to make and they come together pretty quickly. The longest part about cooking cookies is having to cook a few batches.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Beat softened butter, peanut butter and sugars together until creamy. Blend in eggs, milk, and vanilla. Add flour, soda, and salt to the creamed mixture. Blend well.
Step 2
Stir in oats and chocolate chips. Drop by spoonfuls (I roll mine into balls with my hands about the size of a walnut and place the ball unmashed) onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Step 3
Bake in moderate oven 350 degrees about 15 minutes. (I like the tops brown, so I usually turn on the broiler for about two minutes before taking out of the oven). Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
