These chewy peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are soft and chewy. Loaded with creamy peanut butter, oats, and chocolate chips. These cookies are great if you need a last minute dessert, the dough only needs to chill for 30 minutes and they come together so quickly! Top with a sprinkle of sea salt for the perfect sweet and salty combo. A must for peanut butter lovers!

Tools I used for this easy recipe:

Instructions for the chewy peanut butter oatmeal cookies:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine, set aside.
  • In the bowl of stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or using an electric mixer and a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add in the peanut butter and mix again until incorporated. Mix in the vanilla and eggs, one at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Slowly add in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until combined. Fold in the oats and chocolate chips. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Using a portion scoop or measuring spoon, scoop even sized balls of cookie dough – roughly 1 oz. Arrange evenly on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown, cookies will still be soft in the middle. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a cooling rack. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired and enjoy!

Notes:
