Servings: 18 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup rolled old fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts or sliced almonds
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
  3. On medium speed, cream together the butter + peanut butter + granulated sugar + brown sugar + vanilla extract for about 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat to combine. On low speed, gradually add the flour until just combined. Stir in the oats, and then the chopped nuts.
  4. Using a large ice cream scoop or a spoon, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden. Cool completely on the baking sheet and then store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Recipe Notes

13 minutes will make the cookies very soft and slightly chewy. 14 minutes will make it crisp and chewy (I like it this way).
