Ooooh, Dandy-Do Cookies 🍪✨ — a fun name for a chewy, nutty, chocolatey cookie that feels a little “retro bake sale classic.” They’re usually oatmeal-peanut butter-chocolate chip cookies (with a bit of crunch). Here’s a homemade-style recipe:
🍪 Dandy-Do Cookies
Ingredients
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cup brown sugar, packed
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup creamy peanut butter
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
2 tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
-
3 cups old-fashioned oats
-
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for crunch)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven → 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Cream butter & sugars → Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and peanut butter, mixing until smooth.
-
Mix dry ingredients → In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to wet mixture and stir just until combined.
-
Add oats & mix-ins → Fold in oats, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using).
-
Scoop & bake → Drop rounded tablespoons onto baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake 10–12 minutes, until golden but soft in the center.
-
Cool → Let sit 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to wire rack.
✨ Tips & Twists:
-
Extra dandy → Drizzle with melted chocolate once cooled.
-
Chewy style → Use quick oats instead of old-fashioned.
-
Kid-friendly → Swap nuts for colorful candy-coated chocolates.
Would you like me to also give you a “no-bake” Dandy-Do cookie version (quick stovetop peanut butter + oat clusters), or keep it classic baked?
