Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat oven to 180°C/350°F and line a tray. Mix peanut butter, sugar and egg until smooth.
  2. Stir in oats, baking powder and chocolate chips. Shape 12 mounds and flatten slightly on the tray, leaving gaps.
  3. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges set. Cool on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer carefully to a rack.
A little note

Cookies are fragile when hot; the cooling time is part of setting their structure.

Cooking tips

  • Flatten the cookie mounds slightly before baking; they may not spread much on their own.
  • Let cookies firm on the tray before moving them, as the warm centers are fragile.
