Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and well-incorporated.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing completely after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and mix until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
- Sprinkle baking soda over the mixture and gently fold in the rolled oats, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Fold in chocolate chips, stirring gently to distribute them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork or the palm of your hand to create a traditional cookie shape.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients, especially eggs and peanut butter, to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- For perfectly uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop to measure equal-sized portions.
- Don't overmix the dough – mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- For extra richness, use a natural peanut butter with some oil separation for maximum flavor.
- Let cookies cool completely on the wire rack to maintain their crisp edges and chewy center.
- Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft for up to 5 days.
- For a fun variation, try using chunky peanut butter or adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
