Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup golden brown sugar
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready to bake these delicious cookies to perfection. |
| 2 | Prepare two baking sheets by greasing them lightly, ensuring your cookies won’t stick during baking. |
| 3 | In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, golden brown sugar, creamy peanut butter, and unsalted butter. Use an electric mixer to blend the ingredients until creamy, which should take about 1 minute. |
| 4 | Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, and continue mixing until fully incorporated. |
| 5 | In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined. |
| 6 | Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a smooth batter forms. |
| 7 | Once the batter is well combined, stir in the quick-cooking oats, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Then, gently fold in the chocolate chips, tantalizing bursts of chocolatey goodness that will take these cookies to the next level. |
| 8 | Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking. |
| 9 | With the back of a spoon or your fingers, lightly flatten each mound of dough into cookies roughly 2 1/2 inches across and 1/2 inch thick. This will help ensure even baking and perfectly shaped cookies. |
| 10 | Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies are barely set when lightly pressed, and the edges are golden brown. |
| 11 | Don’t be alarmed if the cookies still feel slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven – they will continue to firm up as they cool. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. |
| 12 | Once cooled, indulge in the irresistible combination of flavors and textures that these Giant Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies have to offer. Whether enjoyed with a glass of cold milk or shared with friends and family, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone lucky enough to taste them. |
