Equipment
- large baking sheet
- Large mixing bowl
- medium cookie scoop
- wire rack
Ingredients
Eggs
- 2 large eggs
Sugars
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar packed
Baking Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
Flavoring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Peanut Butter
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
Oats
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
Optional Ingredients
- 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped nuts
- flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and brown sugar together until smooth. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt evenly over the top of the mixture and stir until combined. Add in the vanilla, peanut butter, and stir until combined. Add in the oats (and chocolate chips or nuts, if using) and stir until evenly combined.
- Use a medium (2 tablespoon) cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press down the dough balls to slightly flatten the tops, since they will not spread much while baking.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and sprinkle each cookie with a small pinch of flaky sea salt. Let the cookies cool for at least 5 minutes.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
