Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, and ground cinnamon. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well incorporated.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter and honey together for 30-45 seconds, stirring until smooth and fully combined.
- Add vanilla extract to the warm peanut butter and honey mixture, stirring to blend completely.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly using a spatula or wooden spoon until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Gently press down on each cookie with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly and create a uniform shape.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow cookies to set and firm up.
- Remove from refrigerator and let cookies sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
