How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 teaspoon maple extract and 1 cup creamy peanut butter until well combined.
  5. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Stir in 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and ½ cup chopped peanuts.
  9. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Gently flatten each cookie to about 2 ½ inches in diameter using a lightly floured fork.
  11. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
