Directions

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, Kosher salt, and baking soda.

  2. Step 2

    In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the brown sugar, peanut butter, and butter until smooth. Beat in the egg, egg white, and vanilla.

  3. Step 3

    Add the peanut butter mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Place oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  5. Step 5

    Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Flatten with a fork to make a crisscross pattern. Bake both sheets at the same time for 9 to 11 minutes, rotating the sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until the edges are slightly browned.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

  7. Step 7

    Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
