Ingredients
Scale
Main 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
- 2½ cups whole rolled oats
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, thoroughly stir together the peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats and mini chocolate chips until evenly incorporated into the wet mixture.
- Form the cookies: Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough. With your hands, roll each portion into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, then gently flatten each ball into a disk using your fingers. Note that the disks will firm up more after chilling.
- Chill cookies: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the cookies overnight, about 12 hours, to allow them to firm up and set properly.
Notes
- If your peanut butter is salted, reduce the sea salt to half a teaspoon initially and adjust to taste to prevent over-salting.
- Use natural creamy peanut butter rather than chunky or processed varieties for the best texture and flavor.
- The chilling process is essential to help the cookies firm up, so avoid skipping or shortening this step.
