Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl with a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar on medium high speed until smooth, fluffy and lightened in color. Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and egg and beat on medium speed until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt and add to the batter, mixing at low speed until just combined. Mix in the oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheets – either nonstick or lined with parchment paper or a baking mat.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges start to become golden brown. They will still seem uncooked in the middle. Cool on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
