Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup butter room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
1¼ cup brown sugar
1 cup peanut butter
2 eggs room temperature
1 egg yolk room temperature
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
2 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

To the bowl of a standup mixer, add the butter, sugars, and peanut butter. Beat on medium-high speed until fluffy and significantly lightened in color.
Add the eggs and the egg yolk one at a time, mixing until incorporated after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and add the vanilla. Mix to incorporate.
Right on top of the wet ingredients, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix on low speed just until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add the oats and mix until just incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and mix until just incorporated.
Transfer the cookie dough to a large Ziplock bag and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 cookie sheets (you might need more depending on the size of the cookie sheets) with parchment paper.
Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator. Use your hands or a cookie scoop to form the dough into 2.5-inch balls. Arrange the dough balls on the prepared cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Bake for 14 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Best tips for making this peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe:

1. If you can, stick with using old-fashioned rolled oats for this recipe. However, in a pinch, the quick oats can substitute.

2. For frozen cookie dough, scoop the giant cookies into balls and then freeze them on a sheet. Once frozen transfer them to a freezer bag and pull one or more of the cookie dough balls out when you want a cookie.

3. Mix up the flavors with either peanut butter chips or even butterscotch chips, or make a triple-chip cookie!

4. Always chill the cookie dough when making cookies. However, if you want to skip that step, press the cookies into a 9x13 inch pan to make cookie bars and bake them at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes until they are cooked through to your liking.
