Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until combined, then fold in the oats, chocolate chips, raisins, and pecans.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, omit the pecans and add an equivalent amount of seeds or additional chocolate chips.
- The dough can be chilled for 30 minutes before baking if desired, to help the cookies maintain their shape.
