Total Time1 hour
Course: Dessert, Snack
Servings: 14 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups quick oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.
  • Do not taste or eat any raw dough or batter made with uncooked flour and/or raw eggs.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, egg, vanilla, and honey. Whisk until blended.
  • Scrape peanut butter mixture into oat mixture and stir just until combined. The dough will be wet and sticky. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Place in the refrigerator and let chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
  • When ready to bake, place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator (if it is very stiff, you may need to let it sit out for 5 to 10 minutes). With a cookie scoop or spoon, shape dough into 2-inch balls.
  • Arrange the balls on the baking sheet, leaving 1 inch of space around each one. With clean fingers, gently flatten each cookie to be about 3/4-inch thick.
  • Bake until cookies are golden and firm around the edges and set on top, about 9 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool.
