Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter , at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup natural unsweetened peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cups rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Add the butter and sugar to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar for about 3 minutes, until fluffy and lighter in color. Add the peanut butter and mix until combined. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
    In a separate bowl, sift the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and stir to combine. Stir in the oats. Gradually add the flour/oat mixture to the sugar mixture, using a wooden spoon to stir just until combined. Do not over-stir.
    Scoop the batter by the tablespoon to form 1-inch balls and place them on a cookie sheet. Press down on each one with a fork to create a criss-cross pattern.
    Bake for about 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are starting to brown. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to sit for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
