Crunchy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Steps

• Dough: Cream the butter, crunchy peanut butter, and both sugars until light, about 3 minutes.
• Dough: Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
• Dough: Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together, mix in just until combined, then stir in the oats.
• Chill: Chill 30 minutes.
  ⏱ Start 30 min timer
• Bake: Roll into balls, flatten each to about 1/2 inch with the bottom of a glass, and bake at 180°C (355°F) until golden all the way to the centre.
  ⏱ Start 13 min timer

  Tip: Bake these fully, unlike every other cookie on this site. Crispness comes from driving the water off, so pale means soft.

• Cool: Cool completely on a rack, not on the pan — trapped steam underneath will soften the bottoms.
