Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Oat bran
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat bran, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter mixture. Beat until well incorporated.
Slowly add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will appear slightly undercooked in the center but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Peanut Butter Oat Bran Cookies with a glass of milk or as a standalone treat!
