Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup agave syrup
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, and agave syrup. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a cohesive mixture.
- Add the dark chocolate chips, cinnamon, and salt to the mixture. Gently fold these ingredients into the dough, ensuring even distribution.
- Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, form the dough into 12 equal-sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Gently flatten each cookie ball with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon, creating a round shape approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to allow them to set.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. As they cool, they will firm up and develop a delightful texture.
- Once cooled, serve and enjoy your vegan "Cookies Reaching for Seconds"!
Tips
- • Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing and better cookie consistency • Make sure to space cookies evenly on the baking sheet to ensure uniform baking • For extra crunch, toast the rolled oats lightly before mixing them into the dough • If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate for 15 minutes before forming balls • Experiment with different types of chocolate chips (dark, semi-sweet, or vegan milk chocolate) • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their soft texture for up to 5 days • For a protein boost, consider adding a tablespoon of ground flaxseed to the mixture • Use a cookie scoop for perfectly uniform cookies that bake evenly
