Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed, light or dark
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups quick-cooking oats also called instant or minute oats
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, beat together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Add the two eggs and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
- Add the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and mix to combine well.
- Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to allow the oats to absorb moisture, creating a nice cookie dough texture.
- Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, place a large tablespoon of dough on the baking sheet about 3 inches apart for each cookie.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra treat, add chocolate chips or chopped peanuts to the dough before baking. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
