Big Fat Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies #peanutbutter #chocolate #cookies

A cookie to end all other cookies, these big fat peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are a mouthful. They’re unapologetically fat and thick with loads of peanut butter, chewy oats, and of course—the star of this week’s holiday—chocolate chips. Inspiring today’s cookie recipe is the cover of Sally’s Cookie Addiction. My monster cookie recipe, found in chapter 2 of my latest cookbook, combines chocolate chips, peanut butter, oats, and M&Ms. I skipped the rainbow candies so the focus remains on the peanut butter and chocolate chip pairing.

These massive peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies surprise me every time I bake them, which, in the past year, is more than I care to admit! As the cookie dough bakes, I confidently exclaim that these cookies “surely won’t be as thick as last time.” As I stare at them finishing in the oven—because we all do that—I’m overcome with satisfaction that not only will I eat the thickest peanut butter oatmeal cookies ever, I’ll eat my words too.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 and 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks; 235g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 cup (260g) creamy peanut butter
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups (180g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats
• 2 and 1/2 cups (450g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping if desired

DIRECTIONS

1. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat on medium-high speed until creamed, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, peanut butter, and vanilla and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine.
