4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

Helen Ridgeway Helen Ridgeway
These 4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies use just a handful of ingredients and take very little time to prepare. They are a great one for kids to make themselves and very easy to sub in other seed butters to make nut free, if needed. It’s a small batch of 4-5 cookies, so feel free to double the recipe if you prefer to make more.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan oven) or 350F.
  • Add the peanut butter, oats and maple syrup to a small bowl and mix to combine. Depending on the brand of peanut butter you use you may need to add in 1-2 tbsp of milk as you mix. This will help the mixture come together.
  • Separate the mixture into 5 equal pieces. Spoon onto a baking tray. I like to use a cookie cutter as a guide and spoon into that. Press down to flatten. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • Once the cookies are cool, melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water (or for 20 second bursts in the microwave). Dip the base of each cookie in the chocolate and place on some baking parchment. Drizzle the remaining chocolate over the top. Refrigerate to set.

Notes

  • If you need these cookies to be nut-free, replace the peanut butter with a seed butter like tahini or sunflower seed butter. You may need to add more sweetener if you use this option.
