Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1/3 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in the chocolate chips and nuts until evenly distributed.

          Scoop Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

            Flatten Slightly: Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with the back of a fork or your fingers for an even bake.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. The centers might look slightly undercooked but will firm up as they cool.

                Cool Down: Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Enjoy: Once completely cooled, enjoy your Peanut Butter Oatmeal Delight Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
