How to Make Chewy Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon water. Stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 3 cups rolled oats, ½ cup chopped peanuts (or other nuts/dried fruit – ½ cup sultanas and ½ cup chopped apricots suggested), mixing gently until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Start checking at 10 minutes as ovens vary.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
