Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Oats (Use gluten-free oats for gluten-free option)
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips (Choose dark, semi-sweet, or vegan)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut Butter (Can substitute with almond or sunbutter for nut-free)
- 1/2 cup Honey (Agave syrup works as a vegan alternative)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, honey, and chocolate chips. Stir well until the mixture is fully blended and has a sticky consistency.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten each scoop slightly to form cookie shapes, ensuring they are uniform for even baking.
- Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges turn a golden brown color, indicating a crispy texture.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving to ensure they set properly.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter to accommodate nut allergies.
- Use gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free version of these cookies.
- For a vegan variation, replace honey with agave syrup and use vegan chocolate chips.
- Flatten cookies slightly before baking to encourage crispness.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
