Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup peanut butter (or butter)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep Your Oven and Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and ensures easy removal of the soft cookies.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract until completely smooth with no lumps, about 2 minutes.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle oat flour, baking powder, and salt over the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined to avoid developing gluten and producing tough cookies.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Add the chocolate chips and fold them into the batter gently using a spatula. Reserve a few chips to press on top of each cookie before baking for a bakery-style look.
- Bake to Perfection: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden but the centers remain slightly soft. Remove from oven and allow cookies to continue cooking on the hot pan before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Do not overmix the dough as this can make the cookies tough.
- For nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or additional butter.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Honey and maple syrup work equally well; use your preference.
