Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups quick cook oats
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Softened, not melted.

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Can use dark or white chocolate chips.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and peanut butter until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In another bowl, mix the oats, salt, and chocolate chips.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Baking

Notes

For best texture, ensure butter is soft but not melted. Do not overmix; mix until just combined for chewy cookies. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week, or freeze for several months.
