Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a medium microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 30-45 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and easily stirrable.
- Add cocoa powder and instant coffee granules to the warm peanut butter and honey mixture. Stir vigorously until all ingredients are completely incorporated and no dry spots remain.
- Fold in the rolled oats, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution throughout the mixture. The oats will help bind the cookies and provide texture.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix and melt them completely. Some chips should remain intact for delicious chocolate pockets.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space cookies about 1-2 inches apart.
- Use the back of a spoon or clean fingers to slightly flatten each cookie, creating a uniform shape approximately 2 inches in diameter.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow cookies to set and firm up.
- Remove from refrigerator and let cookies sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving to achieve the ideal texture.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better cookie consistency.
- For extra richness, opt for natural peanut butter with no added sugar.
- Ensure your instant coffee is finely ground to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- Chill cookies completely for the best texture and flavor melding.
- For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats.
- Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties like dark, milk, or even white chocolate.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more honey; if too wet, sprinkle in extra oats.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and professional-looking results.
- Let cookies sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the perfect soft-yet-firm texture.
- These cookies are best enjoyed within 5 days and stored in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
