Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prepare for cookie placement.
- In a medium saucepan, combine maple syrup and peanut butter over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to incorporate.
- Add rolled oats to the maple-peanut butter mixture, stirring gently but completely to ensure all oats are evenly coated.
- If using, fold in chopped nuts and mix until distributed throughout the mixture.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart.
- Allow cookies to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until they firm up and hold their shape.
- Once set, transfer cookies to an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Store at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Use high-quality maple syrup for the most authentic and rich flavor profile.
- Make sure to stir the maple syrup and peanut butter mixture constantly to prevent burning and ensure smooth consistency.
- Let the cookies set completely at room temperature to achieve the perfect texture.
- For a nutty crunch, toast the chopped nuts before adding them to the mixture.
- If the mixture seems too runny, let it cool slightly before dropping onto the baking sheet.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and a more professional look.
- For variations, try adding chocolate chips or coconut flakes to the mixture.
- Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the cookies' texture and freshness.
