- Category: Dessert
- Method: Baking
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter (do not use the oil-top kind)
- 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt or plain Greek yogurt + 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2–3/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar (depending on how sweet you like them)
- 6 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place large piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Set aside.
- Whisk together peanut butter, yogurt, brown sugar, oats, eggs, baking soda and salt until combined. If the batter seems runny, add a few more tablespoons of oats. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Using an ice cream scoop, place dollops of cookie dough on parchment paper, leaving a ½-inch gap in between each cookie. Sprinkle each with flaky sea salt (if using). Bake for 10-15 minutes, until cookies just start to crack on the top.
Notes
Baking Tip: These cookies will be very tender and may fall apart if moved or eaten before cooled. That does not mean they are not incredibly delicious right out of the oven, they may just be a little messy.
Baking Tip: To give these cookies even more “body”, add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the batter before adding the chocolate chips or chunks.
