Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 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 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (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, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. If you're using chocolate chips, fold them into the dough at this stage.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to keep them soft and chewy.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your healthy and delicious whole wheat peanut butter oatmeal cookies!
