I’ve been trying to watch what I eat lately.
As in I watch as I scoop a huge bite of this cookie sundae into my mouth. Bliss.
In all honesty, I really have been trying to track what I eat and as a result I’ve lost a few pounds. I have a teensy weensy problem though…and it’s not fighting off advances from other men as a result of my sheer hot mommyness. Which I am, by the way.
I’m not very good at stretching out my calories to leave enough room for dessert at night so when I have dessert it’s gotta be good.
And since I can never really decide between chocolate chip, oatmeal, or a peanut butter cookie I just decided I would combine them. Then top them with a mountain of ice cream. And chocolate. And whipped cream with a cherry on top.
I think I was blinded by the peanut butter and chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 - 16 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Optional toppings: chocolate syrup, caramel syrup, nuts, whipped cream, maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°
- In a large bowl cream the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl sift together the baking salt, baking soda, and flour. Add to the creamed mixture. Stir until it forms a dough.
- Fold in the oats and chocolate chips.
- Press about 1/4 cup of cookie dough into a whoopie pie pan or press into large cookies on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely then assemble the sundaes.
Notes
Total time includes cooling time.
I have been watching my calories too and it stinks. Great sundaes. I love the idea of the cookie cup but my favorite topping is the cherry.
Oh. My. Gosh. This looks soooo good! I have been trying to “watch what I eat” too. HAHA!
Need.these.in.my.mouth.now. Thank you.
this is so tempting and good. i love desserts especially the ones with ice creams like sundaes et all. i never watch what i eat when i am having desserts
Peanut Butter, Oatmeal AND Chocolate chip. This is just too tempting! I should probably wait until i’ve had a day purely eating cookie dough until i try this, but it probably won’t happen!
Oh pretty please make this appear on my plate tonight?
Love the look of this decadent treat:-)
that combo sounds SO delish.

Why thank you Marissa! It’s a killer combo, let me tell you!
There’s a reason they call it the see food diet. I don’t blame you. Peanut butter and chocolate is one of my favorite flavor combinations, and congratulations on making the foodbuzz Top 9!
Ahh these look amazing!! Can’t wait to try them
Wow, this looks so good! I think I’m going to have some ice cream now…
