Instructions

Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Using parchment paper ensures easy removal of cookies.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the oats and set aside.

Pro tip: Whisking ensures even distribution of leavening agents.

Cream Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Pro tip: Creaming the mixture well helps with cookie texture.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Pro tip: Add eggs one at a time to ensure proper emulsification.

Combine Wet and Dry

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Pro tip: Avoid over-mixing to keep cookies tender.

Shape and Bake

Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Pro tip: For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop.

Cool and Serve

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro tip: Cooling on the baking sheet helps cookies set.
