Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or wooden spoon until the mixture becomes smooth and well-blended.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Beat until the ingredients are completely incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
- Sprinkle the baking soda over the mixture and stir to combine evenly.
- Fold in the rolled oats, mixing until they are distributed throughout the dough.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slightly flatten each cookie dough ball with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern if desired.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and a more consistent dough.
- Don't overmix the dough—this can make your cookies tough instead of soft and chewy.
- For perfectly uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop to ensure consistent sizing.
- If you prefer a chewier cookie, slightly underbake by removing them from the oven when the edges are just turning golden.
- Let cookies cool completely on the wire rack to develop the best texture.
- For extra indulgence, try using chunky peanut butter or adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and soft texture.
