2cups (240g) all-purpose flour
2cups (178g) old fashioned rolled oats
1 ½teaspoonsbaking powder
1 ½teaspoonsbaking soda
½teaspooncinnamon
½teaspoonsalt
1cup (226g) unsalted butterroom temperature
¾cup (201g)creamy peanut butter
1cup (213g) packed brown sugar
½cup (99g)granulated sugar
2largeeggs
1teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, beat the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat for 30 seconds.
Gradually add the dry ingredients on low speed until fully combined. The dough will be thick.
Using a medium cookie scoop, form 2 tablespoon-sized dough balls and place about 8 cookies on the baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set. The cookies may look underbaked when removed from the oven, but they will continue to cook on the hot baking sheet. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 20 minutes before transferring them.
