In addition to being irresistibly delicious, these cookies are made with just 7 ingredients, there’s no mixer required (ha, a must, since we still don’t have one here), they’re naturally free of flour and butter and dairy, they only take about 10 minutes to prep, and they are perfect for gifting. And they are — as one of our new neighbors said — “perfecto.” (Success!!!)

Ingredients

Salt for sprinkling
1/2 cup Semisweet chocolate chips or chopped nuts, plus
1 cup Old-fashioned oats
1 cup Natural peanut butter
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking soda
1/2 cup Brown sugar
2 Eggs

Method

01

Heat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
02

In a large bowl, whisk eggs and brown sugar together until smooth. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt evenly over the top of the mixture, and stir until combined. Add in the vanilla and peanut butter, and stir until combined and smooth. Stir in the oats (and chocolate chips, if using) until combined.
03

Use a large cookie scoop (approx. 3 tablespoons) to scoop the dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Use your fingers or a spatula to slightly flatten the tops of the dough balls, and sprinkle with a pinch of flaked salt if desired.
04

Bake for 10 minutes. Then remove from the oven, and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet itself.
05

Serve warm. Or store in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
