Soft and chewy cookies made with peanut butter, oatmeal, and chocolate chips. Perfect for cozy evenings, potlucks, or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (100g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (130g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together old-fashioned rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Add creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
  5. Beat in the egg until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked—this is perfect for that soft and chewy texture.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Don’t skip the parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother dough.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the cookies soft.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading.’, ‘Keep an eye on baking time; slightly underbaked centers ensure a chewy texture.’]
