Soft and chewy cookies made with just five simple ingredients—peanut butter, oats, brown sugar, egg, and chocolate chips—creating a quick and satisfying homemade treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, and egg. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  3. Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips until evenly incorporated into the dough.
  4. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Gently flatten each portion slightly to help the cookies spread evenly during baking.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
  8. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Rolled oats provide the best chewy texture, but quick oats can be used if needed.
  • Crunchy peanut butter can replace creamy peanut butter for extra texture.
  • Add chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds for additional crunch.
  • Dark chocolate chunks can be used instead of chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • A pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract can add extra flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  • For longer storage, refrigerate the cookies for up to 1 week.
  • Warm cookies briefly in the microwave for a few seconds if desired.
