Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Mix dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg thoroughly until you achieve a uniform dough. Then fold in the rolled oats gently to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
  2. Scoop onto tray: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into evenly sized balls and place them spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Bake until golden: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for approximately 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Allow them to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother dough and chewier texture.
  • Adjust sugar to taste; you can reduce it for a less sweet cookie.
  • If desired, add a pinch of salt or vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
  • Ensure not to overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a week.
