Nirav surely has a sweet tooth and loves fresh baked goodies. I am definitely not a big baker. So I am always looking for yummy easy bake recipe to make for him. I recently can across this recipe for cookies and tried it out. This was an instant hit in the house. My hubby and my baby all approve!
Ingredients:
2/3 cup (58g) old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
1 cup (250g) peanut butter at room temperature
6 Tablespoons light brown sugar (1/2 cup if u like it on sweeter side)
1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
In a medium bowl, toss the oats, cinnamon, and baking soda together. Set aside. In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Mix in the peanut butter and brown sugar with a large rubber spatula until combined. Pour in the dry ingredients and slowly mix until everything is combined. Depending how thick and/or cold your peanut butter is, you'll have to use some arm muscles. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Take 2baking sheets and spray on some non stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Scoop the dough, about 1.5 Tablespoons each, onto prepared baking sheet. Bake two batches - 7 cookies on each baking sheet. Gently press down on the dough mounds with the back of a spoon to slightly flatten as pictured in this recipe. If you find the cookie dough balls are oily-looking from your peanut butter, blot each with a paper towel.
Bake for 9 to 10 minutes. The cookies will look very soft and underbaked, but that's ok. For crispy cookies, bake for up to 12 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet. Cookies stay fresh stored covered at room temperature for up to 7 days, if they last that long! Cookies freeze well, up to 3 months.
