Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies with Sea Salt

These may seem like “any old cookies,” but there is oh-so-much more packed into these puppies than what meets the eye.

I made an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough, then diced two Dark Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Perfect Bars and mixed them into the batter. Lastly, I topped the cookies with coarse sea salt. They are nothing short of PERFECT — and now it’s your turn to get in on the tastiness!

Recipe:
• 1 stick butter, room temperature
• 1/3 cup coconut sugar
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 Tablespoons vanilla extract
• 1 & 1/3 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2/3 cup oatmeal
• a pinch of sea salt
• 2 dark chocolate peanut butter perfect bars, diced
• ½ cup mini chocolate chip

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
With an electric mixer, beat butter, coconut sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
Add vanilla extract and egg and mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, oatmeal, and salt together.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in about 3 increments, mixing after each addition.
Add chocolate chips and Perfect Bar chunks and mix until just combined.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, roll into a ball and dip just the top in sea salt.
Place on a baking sheet (I fit 12 cookies on one big sheet).
Bake for about 8-10 minutes. (I always underbake my cookies, up to you!)
Place cookies on a cooling rack and let cool, or don’t!
Enjoy!

Love the Perfect bar cookies. I was wondering if you've tried them using a coconut or any other kind of flour?

These look awesome! Is there specific nutrition information for these cookies (aside from the nutrients breakdown already on the mini perfect bars)?

Thanks! :)

  Hi Meg - Unfortunately, we don't have the nutritional breakdown for the cookie recipe. That being said, there are websites that can help calculate the nutrition breakdown of a recipe. Hope you enjoy the cookies!

Thank you for sharing this recipe...
I have been struggling for years to get and stay healthy... then I found the perfect bar, and it has been a game changer for me... I reach for it whenever I have that craving for a candy bar, and it always satisfies me.
