Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Description
These Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies combine natural peanut butter and maple syrup as primary sweeteners and binders with rolled oats and oat flour to provide structure and chew. Baking soda leavens slightly, and sea salt enhances flavors. The addition of chocolate chips introduces bursts of sweetness and contrast to the nutty, earthy base.
The dough is mixed until smooth then portioned with a cookie scoop and pressed down lightly before baking at 350°F until the bottom turns golden. Cooling on a wire rack ensures they firm up properly. The result is a chewy cookie with a tender crumb and pockets of melty chocolate.
These cookies can be customized by swapping peanut butter with other nut or seed butters in case of allergies. They keep well in sealed containers at room temperature for a few days, or longer if refrigerated or frozen.
