Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of peanut butter, 1/2 cup of maple syrup, 1 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and maple syrup. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to mix them together until well blended and smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the oats to the peanut butter mixture. Stir continuously until the oats are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands or a spoon to scoop out portions of the dough. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it slightly to form a cookie shape.
- Place the formed cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or a plate. Make sure to leave some space between each cookie.
- Once all the cookies are shaped, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
- After chilling, the cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Tips
- Ingredient Quality Matters: Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for the best flavor and texture. The creaminess of the peanut butter is key to achieving the perfect cookie consistency.
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter cookie, feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup to your liking. Just remember, a little goes a long way!
- Mix It Up: Experiment with add-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon to give your cookies a unique twist.
- Chill for Best Results: Don’t skip the refrigeration step! Chilling the cookies helps them firm up and enhances their flavor. Aim for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay fresh for up to a week—if they last that long!
