This might be the perfect cookie for our house. I love peanut butter anything and Chicken Legs loves Oreos. This was the best of both worlds – a Cookies & Cream Peanut Butter Cookie!
I actually made these cookies for a belated birthday present for a friend. Luckily, this made a ton of cookies. I filled a box up for my friend (one for her, two for Chicken Legs) and saved a few for us. These didn’t last long in our house. I think Chicken Legs’ self control lasted all of 2 days (including baking day).
If you want a really quick cookie – use a bag of peanut butter cookie mix or roll of peanut butter cookie dough and mix in the crushed Oreos. Easy peasy!

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

About how many cookies does this recipe make?
These look so great! love anything with peanut butter!
You always have the best cookies here. Isn't there also Oreos with pb filling?
Yum!
The concept sounds really good, but I'd have to sub out the oreos for some Nutter Butters.
I guess I'm one of the only people on the planet who doesn't like chocolate chip or oreo cookies.
With the Nutter Butter cookies in them, that would send them over the top for me.
OHmygosh! I'm in heaven just lookin' at em! I can't emagine the taste! Wow! Printing this one For Sure! Thank you!!!
Mmm, I would eat these up in a second! Oreos mixed with anything is always a great combo!
