Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups rolled oats Use rolled oats for a chewy texture.
  • 1 cup peanut butter Provides richness and body.
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup Honey gives a floral sweetness; maple syrup is caramel-like.
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips Melt into the warm mixture for rich flavor.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Rounds out the cookie flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) until glossy and smooth.
  3. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, then add dark chocolate chips, stirring until melted and uniform.
  4. Fold in rolled oats gently until fully coated and the mixture thickens into a moundable dough.
  5. Spoon dollops onto the parchment-lined sheet and shape into cookies, pressing lightly to compact.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until firm.

Notes

Keep heat low while warming the peanut butter and honey. Let cookies chill completely for best results. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
