Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup butter (, room temperature)
  • 1 cup peanut butter (, smooth)
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar (, packed)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (, room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups rolled oats (, old-fashioned)

Instruction

  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Separately, in a large bowl cream the butter and peanut butter until smooth and fluffy. Pour in the granulated sugar and brown sugar, then mix well to combine, for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, then mix again to incorporate. Make sure you scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again.
  • Combine the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and beat on low speed until just about combined.
  • Place the dough into plastic wrap, then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350F (180C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Use an ice cream scoop or tablespoon to scoop up equal balls of dough onto the baking tray. Each cookie should be about 2 tablespoons of dough. Leave enough space between the cookies as they will spread in the oven. Sprinkle more oats or crushed peanuts on top for decoration.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown in color. Once baked, let the cookies rest for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them onto a cooling rack.
