Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the proper baking temperature.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the oats, peanut butter, honey, and chocolate chips until the ingredients are evenly combined into a sticky dough.
  3. Shape Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form the dough into evenly sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  4. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and slightly golden, ensuring they do not overbake to maintain chewiness.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy once cooled or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different natural sweetness.
  • Use natural or unsweetened peanut butter for a lower sugar option.
  • Ensure not to overbake to keep cookies soft and chewy.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
