Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the peanut butter to the creamed mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring each ingredient is well blended before adding the next.

Step 5

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 7

Stir in the rolled oats using a spatula or wooden spoon. If desired, fold in chopped peanuts and/or chocolate chips.

Step 8

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon or your palm.

Step 10

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.

Step 11

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy these delightful peanut butter oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
