Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (180 grams) old-fashioned whole rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (250 grams) creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (165 grams) golden brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and golden brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed for approximately 1 minute until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the whole egg, additional egg yolk, and vanilla extract into the butter mixture, beating until thoroughly combined.
- Blend in the creamy peanut butter at high speed, ensuring complete integration.
- Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing until no flour streaks remain.
- Carefully fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a medium-sized cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, optionally rolling each portion between your palms for a more uniform shape.
- Enhance the appearance by pressing additional chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie dough mound.
- Position the baking sheet on the center rack and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookie edges turn a light golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 3 to 4 minutes to set, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Soft and chewy texture guaranteed by using a combination of butter, egg yolk, and creamy peanut butter.
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and smoother cookie dough consistency.
- Sifting dry ingredients prevents lumps and helps create a more uniform cookie texture.
- Resist overbaking to maintain the signature soft center and crisp edges.
- Extra chocolate chips on top create a bakery-style look and add bursts of chocolate flavor.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days to keep cookies fresh and deliciously soft.
