I wondered if you thought that Cookie Butter might work in place of the Peanut Butter? I understand that you always make them as the recipe states, I just thought that with your expertise, having made them so many times, you may have a feel for whether or not it might work out?
Thank you in advance for your time & Merry Christmas!
Hi Lisa,
I’ve never tried it but I bet it would work and be really good. Let me know if you try it and how it turns out! Merry Christmas.
What can you use in the place of the peanut butter ?
We only make these cookies like the recipe. Maybe someone else will know a substitution for you and post it.
I make the peanut butter oats cookies, family favorite, and I’m betting these are going to become one too!
