Five (Or Maybe Six) Ingredient Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies image

These make a crispy cookie and are quick to throw together on those spur of the moment cravings or when a family member says "oh by the way I'm supposed to bring a couple dozen cookies to school/work today". This makes 2 dozen cookies. Great for beginning cooks! **Updated 3/5/2010 based on the first reviews I've adjusted the name and the ingredient list to add the the option of a 6th ingredient of using chocolate chips to the mix.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 1/4 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup chocolate chips (this is the optional 6th ingredient)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, cream peanut butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
  • Beat in egg to the creamed mixture.
  • Add oats and baking soda and mix well. Add chocolate chips in this step if using this ingredient.
  • Drop by tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto GREASED baking sheets. Flatten slightly (if you skip this you get mounds as they do not spread much).
  • Bake at 350F for 6-8 minutes then let cool completely on wire rack before storing.
