Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • A dash of cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats not quick-cooking
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup natural chunky peanut butter
  • 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mix the dry ingredients using a fork until well combined.
  • Add the rolled oats and chocolate chips to the flour mixture. Stir with a fork until evenly distributed. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a hand mixer, beat the melted butter and sugars on medium speed until the sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the peanut butter to the mixture and beat for an additional minute or until fully incorporated.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well mixed, about 1 minute.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients on low speed, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
  • Transfer the cookie dough to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30-40 minutes to soften slightly.
  • Using your hands, roll the dough into 1-inch wide balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  • Flatten the dough balls slightly with the palm of your hand.
  • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until they are just barely beginning to turn golden brown around the edges.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. You can also freeze the baked cookies in a zip-lock bag if you want to keep them fresh for longer.
