Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • ½ cup peanut butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup quick cooking oats

  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

  • ½ cup smooth peanut butter

  • 2 ½ tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter or margarine, 1/2 cup peanut butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Add egg and beat well.
