Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Form Cookies: 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 spoon.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Add ½ cup of chocolate chips or chopped peanuts for extra texture and flavor.
