LOADED PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Spread the oats on a large baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool. Line 2 separate baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine the peanut butter and butter in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium speed. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda and beat until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, then with a rubber spatula, stir in the toasted oats, chocolate chips, coconut and peanut butter cups.
• Scoop 12 mounds of dough (about 1/3 cup each), packing the dough together, and arrange about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Lightly flatten with your fingers.
• Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the edges of the cookies are set but still soft, 20 to 24 minutes. If any cookies are misshapen, use a spatula to press the edges back into a round shape. Let the cookies cool 10 minutes on the pans, then transfer to a rack to cool completely (the cookies will hold together best when fully cooled).
