Just a few ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or chocolate chips
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, honey, unsweetened cocoa powder, oats, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Once the mixture is well combined, let it sit for a few minutes to allow the oats to absorb some of the moisture. This will make it easier to shape the cookies.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- To add an extra touch of flavor and texture, you can gently press down on each cookie with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern. Alternatively, you can leave them as rounded scoops.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or chocolate chips on top of each cookie for added visual appeal and taste.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the cookies chill for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
- Once the cookies have set, they are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a delightful snack or dessert, and savor every delicious bite.
- Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

First line two baking sheets with parchment paper (or just spread a long sheet of the parchment onto the counter), or have 29 cupcake liners set out.
Then in a 2.5 – 3 quart saucepan combine sugar, butter, cocoa powder and milk.
Set saucepan over medium heat (I like to use the largest burner on the stove) and begin whisking. Cook and whisk frequently until it reaches a boil, then once it reaches a full boil stop stirring and let it boil for 1 minute.
Drop mixture onto prepared parchment dropping 2 Tbsp at a time (a medium cookie scoop works well here or just use two large spoons).
Remove the mixture from heat then immediately add in vanilla, peanut butter and oats.
Let cookies set then enjoy! If you want to speed up setting transfer to refrigerator. Store the cookies at room temp in an airtight container.
