Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, peanut butter, white sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high until pale and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully emulsified.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Lower the mixer speed and gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips by hand using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are mahogany gold but centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Remove from oven and allow to firm up on the hot pan.
