Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉/176℃. Line the baking trays with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add in flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until combined and set aside.
    1 cup rolled oats*, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp cornstarch
  • In a large bowl, whisk the cooled melted butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter for 1-2 minutes.
    1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • Then into the same large bowl add in vanilla and egg and whisk until well combined.
    1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla
  • Add the dry into the wet and using a spatula, gently fold until a soft cookie dough forms. Do not over-mix!
  • Scoop the cookies using a cookie scooper (mine is 2 tbsp in size) and place 6 cookies per baking tray. These cookies do not flatten a lot in the oven, so if you like a flatter cookie, gently flatten before baking like displayed in the photo. If you like a thicker peanut butter oatmeal cookie, do not flatten the cookies.
  • Bake the cookies for 14-15 minutes. You'll know they're ready when the outside has a nice crisp edge and the middle is still soft. Remove from oven, the cookies will continue baking on the hot pan.
  • These cookies are so delicious! They stay good on the counter for a few days and in the fridge in an airtight container for a week. Enjoy!

Notes

Rolled oats - Also known as old-fashioned oats or large flake oats. Do NOT use quick oats.
