Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Thick, chewy peanut butter oatmeal cookies. These cookies are easy to make and healthier than your typical cookie recipe.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened natural creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 6 tbsp rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth.
- Add in oats and sprinkle baking soda over oats. Stir into batter until evenly mixed. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Divide cookie dough into 8 dough balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Flatten dough balls until they become thick discs (about 2 1/2 inches wide).
- Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes or until surface of the cookies look cooked and the edges are barely starting to turn a golden brown. Do not attempt to remove the cookies as they will not yet be set.
- Let cookies cool directly on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, during which time the cookies should firm up. You can then remove the cookies from the cookie sheet.
Notes
- Slightly adapted from Ambitious Kitchen.
- Cookie dough will be more greasy than your normal cookie dough since it is mainly made from peanut butter. This is normal.
- Cookie dough balls needs to be flattened into discs before baking, otherwise they will not spread enough.
- You can leave out the chocolate chips if you wish for something less sweet and healthier.
- Uneaten cookies can be stored in a sealed container at room temperature.
