Ingredients

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

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to have a non-stick surface ready for your cookies.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the whole rolled oats and mini chocolate chips to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and form a dough-like consistency.
  4. Portion Cookies: Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough. Then, use your hands to form each portion into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Shape Cookies: Flatten each cookie dough ball into a disk using your fingers. The mixture may seem loose initially but will firm up as they chill.
  6. Chill: Chill the cookies overnight (or at least 12 hours) in the refrigerator to allow them to set and become firm.

Notes

  • If your peanut butter is salted, reduce the sea salt to half the amount initially and adjust to taste.
  • Use natural creamy peanut butter rather than chunky to ensure the cookies have a smooth, cohesive texture.
  • Ensure to chill the cookies long enough for proper firmness and ideal texture.
