Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup quick oats

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In kitchen-aid (or large bowl) cream butter, sugars, and peanut butter until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and beat until well blended. Add vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir into the creamed mixture. 
  4. Mix in oats until just combined and scoop with a cookie scoop. Use a fork to press a crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie (so they bake more evenly) and place it onto a cookie sheet. 
  5. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Pull the cookies out of the oven just as the edges are browning. Leave them on the baking sheet for a few minutes to allow them to finish baking and begin to cool before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling off. ENJOY!

Notes

  • Optional mix-ins. Add ½-¾ cup raisins, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.
  • Store the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and store for 1-2 days before baking, or freeze for up to 3 months. See How to Freeze Cookie Dough for tips.
