When you run a blog for almost six years, you make and post a lot of recipes.  A lot of them.  I still have plenty of ideas based on my imagination that sometimes runs wild and bookmarks, cookbooks, and recipes torn out of a variety of sources I have collected over the years.

The other day, I came up with what I thought was a really cool idea for this week’s Sunday Supper: oatmeal raisin snack cake.  It sounds good, doesn’t it?  Easy to make, serves a crowd, full of all the comforting flavors of childhood, but in a slightly different form that will interest people.

I Googled it to see if anyone else had made such a fun and unique creation.  It turned out a few people had.

Including me.

I had made an oatmeal raisin snack cake.

And it wasn’t that long ago.

I know sometimes I’m overwhelmed by life and anxiety, an ever growing to do list and a news media that won’t shut up about the flu epidemic *shudder*, but this is too much.  I didn’t remember, genuinely did not remember, I had made such a cake.

I remember that cake.  Now.  It was good.  Go check it out.  And it all starts with a cake mix, so it’s insanely easy.

It was back to the drawing board, so I headed to my bookmarks and found Peanut Butter and Caramel Stuffed Cookies.  I thought they sounded and looked good, crowd pleasing, and easy to make.  And I was right.  These came together in a flash and turned out perfectly.

Best served slightly warm (feel free to bake ahead and pop in the microwave for a few seconds), these buttery oatmeal cookies have a crackly crust and chewy interior with gooey caramel hiding in the middle, peanut butter on top, and a sprinkle of crunchy sea salt to finish.  They are anything and everything I ever wanted in a cookie.

I don’t think I’ll forget about these.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup old fashioned oatmeal
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 12 caramel squares (I used cocomels)
  • 12 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (I used Jif Natural)
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Place the melted butter in a bowl. Stir in the sugars, egg, and vanilla. Add the flour, oatmeal, and baking powder. Stir until combined. Form into a ball in the bowl and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, until firm.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Divide the dough into 12 equal balls. Place a caramel in the center of each cookie ball and wrap the dough around it, leaving the top open. Place a tablespoon of peanut butter on top of each caramel stuffed cookie. Sprinkle with sea salt and bake about 15 minutes, until light golden brown.
  3. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Cookies may also be frozen, wrapped in parchment and foil and placed in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave in 30 second increments until warm and gooey.

Notes

Additional chilling time is necessary

    I was blaming my forgetfulness about what recipes I had on the blog on old age, but now you’ve made me feel a little better! I like plan B just as much—these cookies look terrific!

    We always like to microwave our cookies a little before – nothing better than warm cookies…unless I eat them straight from the freezer- those are good too! LOL!

    Can never go wrong with peanut butter. Or caramel. And oatmeal is just the icing on — on in! — the cookie. 😀 Thanks so much.
