How to Make Peanut Butter Cookies With Chocolate Chunks

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup unsalted butter (softened), and 2 tablespoons honey until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (from step 2) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks (or ½ bag of chocolate chunks).
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  8. Roll 1 heaping tablespoon of dough into a ball (about 1 ¾ inches in diameter).
  9. Place cookies 2 ½ inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
