Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter (low sodium)
- 4.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
- 1 cup mini chocolate candies (low sodium)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is thoroughly mixed in before adding the next.
Add the vanilla extract and peanut butter to the mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats and baking soda.
Gradually add the oat mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing well to ensure a uniform dough.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, unsalted roasted peanuts, and mini chocolate candies until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
