Serves: 12-14 cookies
Ingredients
⅔ cup of oats (not quick oats!)
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup peanut butter
6 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp milk or almond milk
½ cup dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips
about ¼tsp-1/2tsp sea salt for sprinkling
Method
In a medium bowl, whisk the oats, cinnamon and baking soda together
In a large bowl, mix the egg, peanut butter, sugar, vanilla and milk until well combined
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet, and mix well
Fold in the chocolate chips
Put the dough in the fridge, and chill for 30 minutes (no matter how tempted you are, don't skip this step!!)
Preheat oven to 350F/175C
Drop cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet in approximately 1.5tbsp mounds, squash each one slightly with the back of a fork, and ensure that the chocolate chips are evenly disturbed between the cookies
Bake for 9-10 minutes, after that time the edges will be set but the cookies will look a little underdone in the center,don't worry, they will keep baking out of the oven!
When freshly out of the oven, sprinkle a little sea salt over the top of each cookie
Allow to cool for 3-5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
