Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups rolled oats Provides main texture and chewiness.
  • 1 cup peanut butter (or almond butter) Adds creaminess and richness.
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup Natural sweetness for the cookies.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar Used for both cookie mixture and glaze.
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon Gives the cookies warming flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances sweetness and flavor.
  • 1 pinch salt Balances sweetness.
Glaze Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar Base for the glaze.
  • 1 tablespoon milk (or more if needed for consistency) Adjusts glaze consistency.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Flavors the glaze.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and form a dough-like consistency.
  2. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball into a cookie shape with your fingers.
  3. Chill the cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until they firm up nicely.
  4. While the cookies chill, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to make the glaze. Adjust milk to achieve your desired drizzling consistency.
  5. Once the cookies are firm, drizzle the glaze over each cookie and allow it to set before serving.

Notes

Let the cookies chill long enough to ensure they firm up properly; this will enhance their texture. Use natural nut butters for cleaner flavors. You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the dough for extra texture.
