Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Before You Begin
  2. Preheat and prepare your cookware as needed. Cooking times and results may vary depending on your equipment and ingredients.
  3. Cream butter and peanut butter together until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  4. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix until fully combined.
  5. Mix in eggs and vanilla until the mixture looks smooth and thick.
  6. In another bowl whisk flour, oats, baking soda, and salt.
  7. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  8. Fold in chocolate chips.
  9. Cover dough and refrigerate about 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Scoop dough balls onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  11. Bake 12–14 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are set with no visibly wet dough.
  12. Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

    • Chill dough for thick cookies and even baking.
    • Bake until edges are lightly golden and centers are fully set with no wet dough.
    • Cool briefly on the pan before transferring.
    • Store cooled cookies airtight at room temperature up to 5 days.
    • Reheat briefly in the microwave or low oven until warmed through.
