Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 cup (packed) Brown Sugar
- 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1.25 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chocolate Chips or Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your 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 softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream the mixture together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until it is smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed until fully incorporated.
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 everything is just combined.
Using a spatula or spoon, fold in the rolled oats. If desired, also stir in chocolate chips or raisins for added flavor and texture.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten it, creating a criss-cross pattern if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just starting to turn golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked — this ensures a chewy texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
