Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet. Stir together peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, and baking soda until smooth.
  2. Fold in rolled oats until combined.
  3. Scoop dough onto sheet, flatten slightly, and bake 10-12 minutes until edges are set.
  4. Cool on sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack and serve.

Notes

Because these cookies spread very little, flattening them before baking is a key step. They harden slightly as they cool completely but stay tender inside; for the softest texture, warm them briefly before eating.
