Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature for even baking.
-
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour and baking soda, whisking them together until they are evenly mixed.
-
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is creamy and smooth, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
-
Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated into the mixture.
-
Mix in Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing.
-
Add Oats and Chocolate: Gently fold in the quick oats and chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
-
Drop Cookies on Sheet: Using a tablespoon, drop mounds of the cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving about 3 inches of space between each mound to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Bake the Cookies: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges.
-
Cool the Cookies: Once baked, let the cookies stand on the cookie sheets for about 3 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
