Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 1/3 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, and chocolate chips. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a thick dough.
  3. Form Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake Until Set: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
  5. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter for the healthiest option without added sugars or hydrogenated oils.
  • For a softer cookie, reduce baking time slightly; for crunchier, add a minute or two.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
  • Feel free to substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version.
