To make cookies: Beat peanut butter, sugar and butter in a large bowl with mixer at medium speed until creamy. Add egg, corn syrup, water and vanilla; beat until smooth. Stir in oats, flour and baking powder.
Shape dough into 60 (1-inch) balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten each ball to a 2-1/2-inch circle using fingertips or heel of hand. TIP: If dough is sticky, place in freezer for 15 minutes before shaping.
