Follow this simple recipe to make thick and chewy oatmeal peanut butter cookies loaded with chocolate chips. This recipe yields a rich flavor blend.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the peanut butter until combined. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips by hand using a spatula.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker cookies, press the dough down slightly with the back of a spoon.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown. The centers should still look slightly soft for a chewy texture.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chunks.
  • If you prefer a nut-free option, substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
  • If you want softer cookies, slightly decrease the baking time.
  • You can use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats, but the texture will be less hearty.
