Ingredients
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter
- ½ cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour, all purpose or gluten free flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter, light brown sugar and white sugar. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes, until no clumps of butter remain.
- Then, add in egg, creamy peanut butter and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Add in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and oats. Stir to combine. Dough will be thick.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Use an ice cream scooper to scoop balls of dough onto lined pan. Space about 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until cookies look just barely set in the middle.
- Finally, remove from oven. Cool cookies on pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove carefully to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use cold butter right from the fridge. Do not use softened or melted butter.
- Use all natural creamy peanut butter made from only peanuts and salt.
- If peanut butter is unsalted, feel free to add in a pinch of sea salt to the dough.
- Both all purpose and gluten free 1 to 1 flour work. For these photos, I used King Arthur Flour gluten free 1 to 1 flour.
- Cookie dough will be thick.
- Use an ice cream scooper to scoop the dough. This ensures the cookies are evenly sized.
- Bake only until cookies look barely set in the middle. They will firm up slightly once cooled.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Freeze for up to 1 month.
