Ingredients

• 1 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 Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Quick-cooking oats
• 0.5 cup Peanuts, chopped
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.

Step 6

Stir in the quick-cooking oats, chopped peanuts, and chocolate chips (if using) using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked but will set as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
