Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

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

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, peanut butter, sugars and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy and pale in color, about 3-4 minutes. Add the egg to the bowl and beat to combine. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture, beating just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Use a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons or about 1.7 oz per ball) and drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown, their edges are just set and the centers are still puffy. Cool the cookies completely on the baking sheets.
