Yummy, these cookies are delicious. But first I need to tell my first attempt to make them. I got the recipe here and saw that everyone said that they were delicious, so I had to test them. But the first time I made them, I let them stay in the oven for too long and they got very hard and not at all delicious. As I knew it was my mistake so I waited a couple of weeks and then I decided that I would test it again. This time, I paid much more attention, I reduced the temperature of my oven, cause I came to the conclusion that it was too hot. When I saw that they were ready, took them out from the oven, I ate a little bit hot and concluded that this time it was right and offered a few more pieces to the people here at home. But while I was waiting them to cool down before I could eat more and take pictures, I noticed that some people began to surround them, so I already warned them “don’t put your hands on it because I have to take pictures”…hehe. So funny, I had to stand in front of the cookies and scare the vultures away, because they wanted to eat it anyway. So I took the pictures as fast as I could and when I allowed them to eat was an attack from all sides…haha. The cookies were gone instantly, and I was praying for the photos to be ok cause I would not be able to take them again. But the pictures were good and even better the cookies were delicious. I loved it.
Peanut Butter-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
± 16 cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
½ cup rolled oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
On medium speed, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat to combine. On low speed, gradually add the flour until just combined. Stir in the oats, and then the chocolate chips.
Use a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons) and drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden. Cool completely on the baking sheet and then store in an airtight container at room temperature.
These look so tasty! I love peanut butter and chocolate together, and the oatmeal addition just makes this sound like like heaven 🙂
