  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Can be substituted with crunchy peanut butter for extra texture.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the rolled oats, along with any optional ingredients like chopped peanuts or chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  8. Flatten each cookie slightly with a spoon or fork.
