Ingredients
1cupcreamy peanut butter
3/4cupdark brown sugar
1large egg
1tablespoonpure vanilla extract
1/2cupoatmeal
1/4teaspoonkosher salt
1/2teaspoonbaking soda
1/2cuppeanut butter chips
Instructions
Place creamy peanut butter and brown sugar into a medium sized mixing bowl, stirring until well combined.
Stir in egg and vanilla until dough is formed.
Pour in oatmeal, salt and baking powder, stirring until combined.
Add peanut butter chips, stirring until combined.
With a medium sized cookie scoop, scoop dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet, placing cookies 2 inches apart. Freeze cookie dough on baking sheet for 15 minutes before baking. You can also chill the dough for a couple hours if you'd rather. I usually just stick the baking sheet with cookie dough in the freezer for 15 minutes, but either option is fine.
While cookie dough is in the freezer, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. Remove cookies from oven. I like to use a plastic knife around the edges of the hot cookies to reshape if needed. Makes perfect rounds if you'd like. Let cookies sit/cool for 15 minutes before transferring to serving plate.

Notes
Use a regular basic creamy peanut butter for best results. I would shy away from natural peanut butters for this recipe.
Use a plastic knife to shape hot cookies as soon as they come out of the oven. Carefully run the plastic knife around edges to make perfectly round if you'd like.
Don't substitute the sugar. I wouldn't recommend trying sugar free options for this recipe.
