Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 200g peanut butter
- 150g brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 100g oats
- 50g chocolate chips
- 50g chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and well-integrated, about 2-3 minutes.
- Crack the large egg into the peanut butter and sugar mixture. Whisk vigorously until the egg is completely incorporated and the mixture becomes slightly lighter in color.
- Add the rolled oats to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top for traditional peanut butter cookie appearance.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. They will continue to set and become crisp as they cool.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for the smoothest mixing and best texture.
- For extra flavor, try using creamy peanut butter with a touch of sea salt.
- Don't overmix the dough - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the wire rack to achieve the perfect crisp exterior.
- For a gourmet twist, try using different types of nuts or chocolate chips.
- Store cookies in an airtight container with a piece of bread to maintain moisture and freshness.
- If you prefer chewier cookies, reduce baking time by 1-2 minutes.
- For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats.
- Experiment with add-ins like dried fruit or coconut flakes for unique variations!
