These soft and chewy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies combine creamy peanut butter, hearty oats, and just the right amount of sweetness. Perfect as a comforting snack or dessert treat.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the old-fashioned oats and chocolate chips or chopped nuts, if using.
  7. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with a fork to create a crisscross pattern if desired.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra texture, use chunky peanut butter.
  • You can freeze the dough balls and bake straight from frozen; just add 1–2 minutes to baking time.
  • Swap chocolate chips for raisins or dried cranberries for a fruity variation.
