Ingredients
margarine
1/2 cup (softened)
peanut butter
1/2 cup (packed tightly)
brown sugar
3/4 cup (not packed)
egg
1
vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon
salt
1/4 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
rolled oats
1 1/4 cups
whole wheat flour
3/4 cup
chocolate chips
1/2 cup (optional)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened margarine and peanut butter. For precise measurement, pack the peanut butter tightly into a metal measuring cup before scraping it into the bowl with your fingers.
3
Add the brown sugar and the egg to the bowl. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and glossy. A wire whisk works best for this step, but a sturdy spoon will do in a pinch.
4
Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly combined.
5
Add the salt, baking soda, rolled oats, and whole wheat flour to the mixture. Using a spoon, mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and you have a thick batter.
6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
7
To help the cookies form a uniform shape, flatten them slightly using a fork or a cup's flat bottom, lightly dipped in flour.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them, as they can go from perfect to too dark quickly.
9
If you wish, stir in half a cup of chocolate chips into the batter before baking for an indulgent touch.
10
Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
