Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a large stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add in the egg and vanilla and mix until well combined. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Step 4
Add the peanut butter and mix.
Step 5
Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix until the flour is just combined.
Step 6
Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and fold in the oats.
Step 7
Using a medium sized cookie scoop, scoop 12 cookies onto each baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes and then remove from the oven. If you don't want a chewy center, bake the cookies for about 13 - 14 minutes. Once the cookies are removed from the oven, let them sit on the baking sheet for a few more minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Step 8
Repeat the process with any remaining dough and store the cookies in an air tight container.
Step 9
Drizzle with melted chocolate if needed.
