Instructions
-
Cream the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. You can use an electric mixer on medium speed or mix by hand until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is light and fluffy. -
Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed. -
Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix gently until the dough begins to form, being careful not to over-mix. -
Stir in the Oats and Peanut Butter Chips
Add the rolled oats and peanut butter chips to the dough. Stir them in with a wooden spoon or spatula until evenly distributed, ensuring each spoonful of dough has a good amount of oats and peanut butter chips. -
Shape the Cookies
Using a teaspoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each cookie, as they will spread slightly during baking. -
Bake
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown on the edges. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid overbaking; they can quickly go from golden to overly crisp. -
Cool the Cookies
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step will help ensure they firm up without breaking.
Tips for Perfect Cookies
- For Extra Crunch: If you want your cookies extra crunchy, bake them for a minute or two longer, but keep a close watch to prevent burning.
- Substitutions: You can substitute the peanut butter chips with chocolate chips for a different twist, or even a mix of both.
- Storing: These cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months—just make sure to layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
