More helpful tips for you.

1. Old fashioned oats work best in this recipe because they help give the cookies its chewy texture. Using quick oats will give the cookies more of a crunch, of that is what you are looking for.
2. When you are selecting your peanut butter, I would suggest avoiding the 'natural' ones. Sometimes natural peanut butters with have added oil in them which can make your cookies too oily to enjoy.
3. Using a granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar and that can also be baked with is essential to the success of this cookie.
4. Make your cookies even more flavorful by adding raisins, sugar free chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.
5. Chilling the dough before baking helps make the cookies keep their shape while baking. It also helps make the dough easier to work with.

How to make Sugar Free Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Cookies

Bake Time: 10-12 minutes .
Servings: 24 cookies, depending how the size of your cookies. .

1. Dry Ingredients. In a medium bowl, use a whisk to combine together the flour, oats, baking soda,and baking powder along with any optional salt.
2. Cream. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, and your sugar alternatives until smooth and creamy (about three minutes). Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until combined.
3. Combine. Add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to your mixing bowl and mix until just combined.
4. Chill. Cover your mixing bowl and refrigerate your dough for 20 minutes to overnight.
5. Bake. When you are ready to bake your cookies, take your cookie dough out of your refrigerator, preheat your oven to 350 and prep two baking sheets for nonstick ( I like parchment paper or a baking mat for a recipe such as this one). Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out the dough and place the cookies about an inch and half apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the sides begin to turn golden brown.
6. Cool. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheets for five minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to fully cool and set.

Expert Tip👉 After taking the cookies out of the oven, use a spatula to slightly loosen them from the baking sheet to prevent sticking
