Equipment
- oven
- mixing bowl
- baking sheets
- parchment paper
- mixer
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup quick oats
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (180C or 170C fan forced). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl beat together the butter, sugars, and peanut butter until creamy and no lumps remain.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla.
- Add in the flour, baking soda and salt. Do a few stirs by hand first, then turn the mixer to a low speed and beat together until combined.
- Turn off the mixer and stir in the quick oats and old-fashioned oats.
- Form the dough into balls about the size of a ping pong ball. Place 2 inches apart on a lined cookie sheet. Do not flatten.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes in the middle of the oven, or until the tops are just set.
- Remove from the oven. Cool cookies on the cookie tray for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and continue cooling.
Notes
I highly recommend using commercially prepared smooth peanut butter. Use a combination of quick oats and old-fashioned oats. Chilling the dough will result in thicker cookies if desired.
