Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth and creamy to create a rich base for your cookies.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the peanut butter mixture, mixing well until fully combined for a uniform dough.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until everything is combined to maintain a tender texture.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough for bursts of chocolatey goodness in every bite.
- Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear soft but will firm as they cool, ensuring a chewy texture.
- Cool: Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, try using crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy.
- To make the cookies gluten-free, substitute rolled oats with certified gluten-free oats.
- Storage tip: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Optional Presentation: Serve the cookies stacked in a tall glass with a few chocolate chips sprinkled on top for an inviting display.
