Description
A delightful recipe for chewy peanut butter oatmeal cookies that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick / 113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups (150g) old-fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Use a spatula to fold in the rolled oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop dough (about 1.5 tablespoons per cookie) onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each for spreading. Gently flatten each ball slightly with your hand or a glass.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- These cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months.
