Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Description
This recipe combines old fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon to create a spiced dry base. Creamy peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar are beaten together until smooth and fluffy. Adding an egg and vanilla extract provides structure and depth to the dough. The dry ingredients are gently folded in just until combined, preserving the cookie's tender texture.
Portioned into round balls and baked at 350°F, these cookies develop lightly browned edges while remaining soft in the center. Cooling on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack helps them set without becoming hard.
These cookies balance peanut butter richness and a pleasing oat chew, making them suitable for casual treats or lunchbox snacks.
