Directions
- Prepare Your Pan
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking. - Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine peanut butter and honey. Stir continuously until smooth and slightly warm, about 2–3 minutes. - Mix in Oats
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the oats until fully coated with the peanut butter mixture. Add optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, cinnamon, or dried fruit if desired. - Form Cookies
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto the prepared parchment paper. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers for classic cookie shape. - Chill
Place the tray in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until cookies are firm and set. - Serve and Enjoy
Once firm, enjoy these cookies straight from the fridge. They’re chewy, sweet, and perfectly satisfying.
