In reply to KD. I have had commenters report success using a gluten free flour, but I can't say for sure how the vegan butter will work. Let me know how it goes if you try it. :)

These cookies were a hit! I had a few people tell me that they were the best peanut butter cookies they have ever had. The only substitution I made was to use regular rolled oats that I pulsed a few times in the food processor instead of quick oats.

In reply to Kierra. Hi Kierra! Thats so strange, we're honestly not sure why they would be coming out flatter. After the first batch if they're still coming out flat, you could try adding a small spoonful of flour and stirring that in to make the dough a little stiffer. As far as our other recipes, if it calls for melted butter you want to make sure the butter isn't too hot before adding the other ingredients

Made with gluten-free flour and date sugar/maple syrup. Delicious! Everybody loved them…only next time I might add more oats!

Hi there,

Every time I make any of your cookie recipes (I’ve probably made three now) my cookies come out so much flatter than yours. I weigh my flour and chill the dough as recommended.

Also, why don’t you ever use your kitchenaid anymore???

In reply to Stephen Gray. Hi Stephen! Unfortunately I do not have the option to double the ingredients and print it. :(

Is there any chance you have a printable recipe already doubled with the picture that prints on single recipe? My wife likes pictures on all of my recipes and if I try to double the ingredients as I assemble everything,I inadvertently leave something as single

In reply to JENNIFER JONES. I'm so sorry this happened, Jennifer! Did you make any substitutions? If not there may have been a bit too much flour in the dough. :( I'm glad you were still able to enjoy them. :)

Tasty, but mine fell apart. Do they need two eggs? Not sure what went wrong

My hubby is a PB fanatic, especially in his cookies. Made these now twice in the last week with chocolate chips- the first batch was supposed to be for him but I ended up eating most of them, haha. Definitely a winner!

In reply to Jen. Hi Jen! I'm not sure how you would get the nutella just swirled in the dough, but you could try replacing a little bit of peanut butter with the nutella. I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure how it would turn out.

Family and friends love this cookie!! Can I add swirls of Nutella or will it ruin the texture? Thanks!

In reply to Harry.

These were chewy and delicious! Someone had gotten into the peanut butter and there wasn’t quite enough to top off the measuring cup, so I substituted almond butter for that little bit of pb, maybe a couple of tablespoons. It didn’t affect the flavor at all. Love the texture the oatmeal gives them. Yummy!
