Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to peanut butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with a fork if desired.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are still soft. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Tips
For extra texture, add 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped peanuts.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
