adding peanut butter to a recipe

adding peanut butter to a recipe - Female hands kneading fresh dough on wooden chopping board with flour in kitchen

Ok, so I saw another question answered here that said:

Natural Peanut butter is about 50% fat, butter is about 80% fat. If you want to maintain the original amount of fat in the recipe, you would decrease the butter by 60% of the amount of peanut butter you used.

I however have a recipe for oatmeal cookies that calls for 3/4 C of butter and I'd like to use a full cup of peanut butter, How do I adapt this correctly? I'm really bad at math and don't want to mess it up, haha.

Also if I'm adding that much peanut butter do I need to adjust any of the other ingredients like the flour or oats quantity?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

    • Can I add peanut butter to my cookie mix?

    The Best Peanut Butter for Baking For best results, use a standard commercial brand of creamy peanut butter. I used Skippy for this recipe. Avoid any \u201cnatural\u201d peanut butters where the oil separates. The dough won't come together nicely if you don't use commercial peanut butter with an added oil.
