How to Make Wee Willie Winkee Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips (if using).
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven and cookie sheet.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
