Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup peanut butter (or almond butter) Can substitute almond butter for a different flavor.
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup Maple syrup can be used for a vegan option.
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar Used in dough and glaze.
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt Enhances flavor.
For the Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk (or more if needed for consistency) Adjust milk to achieve preferred glaze consistency.
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture has a dough-like consistency.
- Use your hands or a spoon to roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
- Gently flatten each ball into a round, cookie-like shape with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
- Transfer the tray with the cookies into the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Glazing
- While the cookies chill, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk to reach a drizzle consistency.
- Once the cookies are chilled and firm, drizzle the glaze over the top of each cookie using a spoon or a piping bag for a more controlled drizzle.
- Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Feel free to personalize these cookies with different nut butters or add-ins like nuts or dried fruits.
