Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies start with creaming together softened butter, peanut butter, and two types of sugar, creating a rich, smooth base. Adding vanilla and eggs lightens the batter before incorporating flour, oats, baking soda, and salt for structure and texture. Milk chocolate chips fold in last, infusing pockets of sweetness throughout the dough.
Baked at 350 degrees until just lightly browned and still soft in the center, these cookies maintain a tender chewiness from the oats and peanut butter. The gentle rise from baking soda helps keep them from becoming too dense, while the slightly crisp edges add contrast.
They are suitable for serving at casual occasions, snack times, or as a sweet finish. Refrigerating the dough briefly before baking or spacing dough balls well ensures even cooking. Fully cooled cookies hold their shape and texture well.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened to room temperature (I use salted butter)
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 cup light brown sugar or dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup quick oats using old-fashioned rolled oats will give a different texture
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips or semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl with an electric handheld mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Add the vanilla and eggs and mix until the batter is light in color, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the flour, oatmeal, baking soda and salt. When it is mostly combined but there are still a few dry spots, add the chocolate chips and mix until well combined.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet (with parchment, silpat or coated with cooking spray), spacing the cookies 1-2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until very lightly browned and still soft in the center. Remove the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
