Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the cookie dough.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the oats, vanilla extract, and baking soda until everything is evenly combined into a thick batter.
- Form Cookies: Use a spoon to drop dollops of the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and enhances their chewy texture.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, use crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan version.
- Use gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free cookie.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- To add texture, consider mixing in chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
