Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup unsalted butter and 1/2 cup peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar, mixing until combined.
  3. Beat in one large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Slowly blend this into the wet mixture.
  5. Fold in 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup chopped peanuts or raisins.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges but soft in the center.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
