Ingredients

½ cup butter room temperature
½ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg room temperature
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
8 Oreo cookies, chopped or crushed + more for topping, optional
½ cup peanut butter chips + more for topping, optional

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter at medium speed for about a minute, until light and fluffy. Add the sugars, peanut butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix for 2 more minutes.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low until just combined. Do not over-mix. Mix in the Oreos and peanut butter chips on low until combined.
Chill the cookie dough for 1-2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Place 2-tablespoon cookie dough balls onto prepared baking sheet. Gently press additional Oreo pieces and peanut butter chips on top of each cookie dough ball.
With your hand or spatula, gently flatten each ball to about ¾ inch thick and shape into a round puck.
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the sides are set, the top is very light golden brown, and the centers are soft. Err on the side of underbaking, they will continue to cook after they're out of the oven. Do not overbake or the cookies will be dry.
Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire baking rack.

Notes

For light fluffy batter that easily blends together, use room-temperature butter and egg. Remember, room-temperature butter should be cool to the touch, not soft.
Chilling the dough is technically optional because this dough doesn't spread. I recommend it because letting the dough rest enhances the flavor and creates a chewy, tender cookie.
Be careful not to overbake. For soft and chewy centers, slightly underbake the cookies.
