Teeming with peanut butter flavor, plus chunks of delicious chocolate, these cookies are sure to be a hit. Enjoy them as a mid-day snack, dessert, or even breakfast – the possibilities are endless! Preparing the cookies is simple; just follow the directions below and you’ll have your homemade treats in no time.

HOW TO MAKE:

Start by preheating the oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon (optional), and salt.
Set this aside and grab another large bowl, where you’ll mix together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer.
Beat these ingredients until they’re creamy and fluffy.
Now add eggs and vanilla extract, and beat everything until it’s combined.
Slowly incorporate the flour mixture and beat on low-speed just until everything blends together and dough forms.
Add the oats and chocolate chips, stirring until combined – the less you mix at this point, the softer the texture of your cookies will be.
Add parchment paper to 2 baking sheets, space out the rounded balls of dough, about 2 tablespoons for each cookie.
Don’t forget to leave some space between each cookie – place them about 3 inches apart.
Place your baking sheets in the oven, and bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges and top of the cookies are browned and the centers still maintain a nice softness.
Cool the cookies in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Your delicious Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are now ready to be served! Serve them at room temperature. You can store them in an airtight container for 1 week at room temperature. If you’re not planning on eating all the cookies in the near future, feel free to freeze them for up to three months.

FAQ

Q: What are the benefits of baking with oats?
A: Oats add an amazing nutty flavor and crunchy texture to cookies. They also provide a good source of dietary fiber, an essential component of a balanced diet with numerous health benefits such as decreased cholesterol and improved digestion. Oats are also naturally gluten-free, making them suitable for those on gluten-free diets.

Q: How can I make sure the cookies turn out soft in the middle?
A: The less you mix the dough when adding the oats and chocolate chips, the softer the cookies will be. Additionally, make sure you don’t over-bake your cookies – when the edges have lightly browned and the center is soft, it’s time to take them out of the oven.
