Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Natural peanut butter (unsweetened, unsalted)
- 0.33 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Rolled oats (optional for texture)
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.125 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 medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
Crack the egg into the bowl and mix it into the peanut butter-honey mixture until fully combined.
Add the rolled oats, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Stir until the mixture forms a cohesive dough. If you want to add dark chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each ball of dough to flatten slightly, creating the classic crisscross pattern on the cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your soft, chewy, and healthy peanut butter honey cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
