Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Natural peanut butter
- 1 cup Rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 0.33 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth.
Crack the egg into the bowl, add the vanilla extract, and whisk until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. If using chocolate chips, stir them into this dry mixture.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies continue to firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
