Ingredients

• 1 cup Oat bran
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat bran, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter mixture. Beat until well incorporated.

Step 5

Slowly add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 7

Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on the surface.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will appear slightly undercooked in the center but will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Peanut Butter Oat Bran Cookies with a glass of milk or as a standalone treat!
