Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup softened butter and ½ cup creamy peanut butter. Beat together until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add 1 cup packed brown sugar and beat until incorporated and smooth.
  4. Incorporate 1 large room-temperature egg and ¼ cup water, mixing until fully blended.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3 cups old-fashioned oats, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet until a thick dough forms; do not overmix.
  7. Fold in 1½ cups of chocolate chips, reserving ½ cup for topping.
  8. Scoop 2-tablespoon-sized balls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  9. Gently flatten each cookie and top with reserved chocolate chips.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown; centers should not look doughy.
