Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
Add rolled oats to a food processor. Pulse oats for about 30 seconds on high speed until they become very small and partially become flour. See photo in post for reference.
Add honey (make sure to scrape the honey off the measuring spoon or measuring cup so all of it gets added in) and peanut butter to the food processor. Mix on low speed until ingredients are fully combined and a thick dough forms (this should only take a few seconds). You may need to scrape the sides of your food processor to help make sure all the honey and oat flour get mixed in.
Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough. Roll scooped dough between the palm of your hands until it forms a smooth ball. Place dough ball onto prepared cookie sheet. Press down on the dough ball with the palm of your hand until it forms a smooth round disk, between 3/8 and 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with remaining dough. This will be the final shape of your cookie so smooth the edges and reshape as needed.
Place cookies into fridge for about 30 minutes to one hour to firm up. The cookies will not change much but they will be firmer, making them easier to hold and eat. Store uneaten cookies in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
Make sure to use natural peanut butter. This is peanut butter with no added oils and the only ingredients should be salt and peanuts. Peanut butter can be substituted with natural almond butter.
These are meant to be healthy cookies and are lightly sweetened. You can reduce the honey to 2 tbsp if you want your cookies to have less sugar. You can also increase the honey if you want sweeter cookies. If you increase the honey you will need to increase the amount of oats, otherwise your cookie dough won't be thick enough.
The ingredients can be doubled for a larger batch of cookies.
