Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon or spatula until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a cohesive mixture.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough. Ensure the chocolate chips are mixed in without breaking the dough's consistency.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space the cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading during baking.
- Lightly press down on each cookie dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a slightly flattened shape, as these cookies will not spread significantly during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the tops look set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing and a smoother dough consistency.
- For a more uniform cookie shape, use a cookie scoop or consistently sized tablespoon when portioning the dough.
- Don't skip pressing down the cookies before baking - this helps them achieve a more appealing, flattened shape.
- For extra crunch, try toasting the rolled oats in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing.
- Experiment with mix-ins like dried fruit, nuts, or different types of chocolate chips to customize your cookies.
- If the dough seems too dry, add a little more honey or peanut butter to help it bind.
- Let the cookies cool completely to allow them to set and develop their perfect texture.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free chocolate chips.
