Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Add richness and moisture; swap with dairy-free butter for a vegan alternative.
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter Essential for flavor and structure; avoid natural varieties to maintain the right texture.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Brings moisture and deep flavor; coconut sugar can serve as a less processed substitute.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Sweetens and balances flavors; feel free to cut back for a lighter sweetness.
  • 1 large egg Binds ingredients effectively; a flax egg could work for vegan adjustments.
  • 1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats Provides structure and chewiness; ensure they are gluten-free.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Important for texture and rise; no substitutions are necessary.
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Enhances the overall flavor; a sprinkle of sea salt works as a great alternative.
