Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Description
The cookie dough combines softened salted butter, smooth or chunky peanut butter, brown and granulated sugars, eggs, and vanilla to create a creamy base. Incorporating all-purpose flour, quick oats, baking soda, and salt produces a sticky dough with the hearty texture of oats balancing the richness of peanut butter. The cookies are portioned as golf-ball-sized scoops and spaced well on baking sheets to accommodate spreading. Baking at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes results in cookies with browned edges and mostly set tops, yielding a slightly crisp outer texture with a soft interior. Optional additions, such as chocolate or peanut butter chips, can be folded in after mixing the oats, customizing flavor and texture slightly. Cooling on the baking tray preserves their shape and texture.

Instructions

- Add flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Beat (if using a hand-held mixer or making by hand, use a wooden spoon to stir) until just mixed and a sticky dough forms.
- Scoop golf-ball-sized scoops of batter onto baking sheets, 8 to a sheet as far apart as possible (these cookies SPREAD).
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until cookies are browned around the edges and tops look mostly set. For crispier cookies, bake until cookies look completely set.

Notes
- Old-fashioned rolled oats can be used if quick oats are unavailable; pulse them in a food processor for a finer texture if preferred.
- Mix in 2 cups of chocolate or peanut butter chips after oats for added flavor variations.
- Use salted butter as specified to balance sweetness and enhance flavor without adding extra salt.
- Space cookies well on the baking sheet as they spread significantly during baking.
