Pro Tips for Perfect Cookies ๐
- Consistency Key: Dough should hold together when squeezed. Too crumbly? Add a splash of almond milk.
- No-Chill Hack: Freeze for 5 minutes instead of chilling.
- Vegan Swap: Use coconut oil instead of honey (melt ¼ cup coconut oil, mix with peanut butter, then add oats).
- Fancy Upgrade: Roll in crushed graham crackers or cinnamon sugar before chilling.
Why This Works ๐งช
- Peanut Butter + Honey: Natural sweeteners and fats bind the oats into a dough.
- Oats: The star ingredient! They hold the cookies together and add fiber.
- Chill Time: Solidifies the fats so cookies don’t melt immediately.
Creative Variations ๐จ
- Nutty Delight: Swap ½ cup oats for chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Caramel Lovers: Add ¼ cup salted caramel bits.
- Double Chocolate: Use dark chocolate chips and a dash of cocoa powder in the dough.
