Chunky Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Chocolate Chipsters
- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 14 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 12 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1 12 cups light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 12 cups bittersweet chocolate, chopped into chunk
- Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
- Whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, spices and salt.
- Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition, then beat in the vanilla.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add the dry ingredients, beating only until blended.
- Mix in the chips.
- If you have the time, cover and chill the dough for about 2 hours or up to 1 day.
- If the dough is not chilled, drop rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the baking sheets.
- If the dough is chilled, scoop up rounded tablespoons, roll the balls between your palms and place them 2 inches apart on the sheets.
- Press the chilled balls gently with the heel of your hand until they are about 1/2 inch thick (these don't really spread).
- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to bottom and front to back after 7 minutes.
- The cookies should be golden and just firm around the edges.
- Lift the cookies onto cooling racks with a wide metal spatula - they'll firm as they cool.
- Repeat with the remaining dough, cooling the baking sheets between batches.
