Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Stir in the rolled oats and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with a fork.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils. If the dough is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
