Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend them together until smooth and creamy. Next, add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing again until well incorporated.

      Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps and that everything is well combined.

        Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of your cookies.

          Add-in the Goodies: If you’re using chocolate chips and/or chopped peanuts, fold them into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.

            Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie, as they will spread slightly during baking.

              Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set. They will continue to firm up as they cool.

                Cool Down: Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step ensures they stay chewy!

                  Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your deliciously chewy peanut butter oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
