Ingredients
  

For the cookies
  • 2 cups rolled oats Base ingredient for structure.
  • 1 cup peanut butter (or almond butter) Provides richness and flavor.
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup Natural sweetener.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar For sweetness and glaze.
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon Adds warmth and flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor.
  • pinch salt Balances sweetness.
For the glaze
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar Base of the glaze.
  • 1 tablespoon milk (or more for consistency) Adjust for desired glaze thickness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds flavor to the glaze.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well-incorporated and forms a dough-like consistency.
  2. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball into a round shape for even texture.
  3. Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before glazing.
  4. While the cookies chill, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust milk to reach desired glaze consistency.
  5. Once the cookies are firm, drizzle the glaze over each cookie. Allow the glaze to set before serving, which may take about 10 minutes.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They can also be frozen; separate with parchment paper to prevent sticking and thaw in the fridge before serving.
