Instructions:

Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In a very large mixing bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sugar and beat the mixture until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally.
-
Incorporate Wet Ingredients:
- Beat in the egg, water, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually beat in as much of the flour mixture as possible.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour mixture along with the rolled oats until well incorporated.
-
Add Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chips:
- Stir in the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Form Cookies:
- Drop the cookie dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly firm to the touch.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Once baked, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Serving Suggestions:
These Chocolate-Lovers Oatmeal Delights are best enjoyed with a tall glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee. Serve them as a sweet treat for dessert, pack them in lunchboxes, or bring them to potlucks and gatherings for a crowd-pleasing snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
Tips:
- For extra chocolatey goodness, consider drizzling melted chocolate over the cooled cookies or sandwiching them together with a layer of chocolate ganache.
- If you prefer a softer texture, slightly underbake the cookies and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Customize these cookies by adding chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or dried fruits for additional flavor and texture variations.
