Description
Thick, chewy peanut butter oatmeal cookies packed with chocolate chips and colorful chocolate candies. These bakery-style treats are soft in the center, slightly crisp on the edges, and loaded with texture and rich flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup colorful chocolate candies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt until fully incorporated.
- Stir in rolled oats, chocolate chips, and colorful chocolate candies until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop large portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain slightly soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For thicker cookies, avoid flattening the dough before baking.
- Press extra chocolate candies on top before baking for a colorful bakery-style finish.
- Slightly underbake for the softest texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
