Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 g) natural creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) quick oats
  • 3/4 cup (135 g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until creamy and well blended, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture and mix until smooth and glossy.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together baking soda, salt, rolled oats, and quick oats.
  5. Gradually fold the dry oat mixture into the wet peanut butter mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips evenly through the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are set but centers look slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oils for best texture. Avoid overbaking to keep cookies chewy. Chilling dough for 30 minutes can help control spread and deepen flavor. If cookies are too crisp, reduce baking time or lower oven temperature to 340°F (170°C). Store in airtight container with a slice of bread to keep soft longer. For vegan version, replace egg with flax egg and use dairy-free chocolate chips and peanut butter.
