Hey guys!
So this is a tried and true recipe for me. It's my go-to cookie recipe when I want to give a gift or just make something that I know people will enjoy! It is, by far, my favorite cookie next to my sentimental molasses cookies :).
Here is the recipe:
Wet ingredients:
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry ingredients:
1 cup flour (I use whole wheat)
1 cup oats
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cream of tartar (optional)
1+ cup of chocolate chips or chunks
Preheat oven to 375
Mix the dry ingredients.
Beat together the butter, sugar and peanut butter until creamy. Then add the egg and vanilla and beat until it's just blended. Add the dry ingredients in two batches and stir together with a wooden spoon. Stir in chocolate chips and add as many as you want! Let the dough sit for about 5-10 minutes. Spoon dough with a spoon onto a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes depending on your oven. This yields about 40 cookies.
These are super easy and super tasty. Let me know how they turn out for you!
