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.
Tips & Tricks
- Use room temperature butter for easier mixing.
- Ensure oats are fresh for the best texture.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
