Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (128 grams) peanut butter
- 1 cup (200 grams) brown sugar and white sugar combined
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup (125 grams) flour
- 3/4 cup (67 grams) old fashioned oats
Binding and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Components:
- 3/4 cup (128 grams) mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) regular chocolate chips
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- In a stand mixer, whip butter, peanut butter, and sugars until achieving a light, airy consistency, then incorporate egg and vanilla extract for smooth integration.
- Separately mix flour, oats, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, creating a dry ingredient foundation.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, blending thoroughly until a uniform dough forms.
- Gently incorporate both mini and regular chocolate chips, distributing evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, portion dough onto the prepared baking sheet, maintaining approximately 2 inches between each cookie to allow proper spreading.
- Bake precisely 8 minutes, watching for golden edges without overcooking.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, enabling them to firm and stabilize before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
- Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container, maintaining freshness for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Swap almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version of these delightful cookies, ensuring everyone can enjoy the treat.
- Reduce sugar content by using monk fruit sweetener or stevia for a lower-calorie alternative that still maintains great flavor.
- Toast oats briefly before mixing to enhance their nutty flavor and add a deeper, more complex taste profile to the cookies.
- Use natural peanut butter without added oils or sugars for a cleaner, more wholesome ingredient that boosts the overall nutritional value.
