Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick, softened)
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 6 ounces unsalted butter ((3/4 cup or 1 1/2 sticks), softened)
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
- Optional : 1/2 cup crushed nuts to roll the edges of the cookies in
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or use a non stick cookie sheet.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla, mixing until combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add half of the flour mixture into the wet mixture and beat until combined, add the remaining flour and mix again. Stir in the oats.
- Form balls 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp in size, or use a cookie scoop for better uniformly sized cookies. Place on a cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until the tops are set. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet. Cool completely before filling the cookies.
