Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.25 cups White granulated sugar
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Dark chocolate chips or raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and well combined.
Add the brown sugar and white granulated sugar to the butter mixture, and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (from step 2) to the wet ingredients, mixing slowly until a thick dough forms.
If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips or raisins using a spatula.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into small balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Gently press each dough ball with a fork to slightly flatten them, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges start turning golden brown. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your homemade rolled oats and peanut butter cookies!
