Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Incorporate Oats and Chips: Stir in the oats and peanut butter chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft—this is fine as they will firm up while cooling.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chip Cookies are a delicious combination of classic oatmeal cookie goodness and the indulgent creaminess of peanut butter chips. Perfectly chewy and packed with flavor, they’re a treat you’ll come back to time and time again.
