Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) sea salt
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Thoroughly beat eggs in a large mixing bowl until frothy and uniform.
- Incorporate peanut butter and maple syrup into the eggs, blending until smooth and fully integrated.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, creating a dense, cohesive dough with consistent texture.
- Gently distribute chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even spread of ingredients.
- Scoop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing them appropriately to allow for slight spreading during baking.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, watching for golden edges and set centers, indicating perfect cookie doneness.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to firm up and cool slightly before transferring to a serving plate.
Notes
- Customize cookie size by using different scoops for petite or generous portions, ensuring consistent baking times for each batch.
- Swap traditional peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for those with nut allergies, maintaining the same creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Reduce sugar content by using sugar-free chocolate chips and natural maple syrup alternatives for a more diabetic-friendly version of the cookies.
- Enhance nutritional value by incorporating ground flaxseed or chia seeds into the dough, boosting protein and omega-3 content without altering the cookie’s delightful taste.
