Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ⅔ cup unsalted natural creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Heaping ½ teaspoon sea salt
Dry Ingredients
- 2½ cups whole rolled oats
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add dry ingredients: Add the rolled oats and mini chocolate chips to the peanut butter mixture and stir until everything is evenly combined.
- Form cookies: Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the dough. With your hands, shape each portion into a ball, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball into a disk with your fingers; the disks will firm up more as they chill.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the cookies overnight (about 12 hours) to allow them to firm up and set properly before serving.
Notes
- If your peanut butter is salted, reduce the sea salt to half a teaspoon initially and adjust to taste.
- Use natural creamy peanut butter for the best texture and flavor; avoid chunky peanut butter, especially ones with peanut pieces settled at the bottom.
- For firmer cookies, ensure overnight chilling; shorter chilling times may result in softer cookies.
- These cookies are best stored in the fridge to maintain their texture and freshness.
