Maureen says
I just took a batch out of the oven. I ate one and my 21 month old granddaughter is eating hers now. First bite was “wow”!!!! These cookies are SO SUPER YUMMY! Easy to put together and done before you know it. I did add two ingredients - a small handful of unsweetened shredded coconut and a little bit of vanilla. I’ve been using a different oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe that I found a few weeks ago. I’ve already made it twice and it’s delicious BUT this recipe is truly more decadent. I was able to get 10 cookies with no problem. They are pretty sweet so I will cut back on the maple syrup just a little bit the next time I make them, which will be next week for sure!
Thank you Karielyn for this amazing recipe!❤️
Karielyn Tillman says
Hi there Maureen! I'm so excited to hear that you and your granddaughter enjoyed the recipe! I'm even more excited that you chose to make her a batch of healthy cookies - yay!
I love the additions you made and I can imagine how good that tasted, especially the vanilla.
Thanks so much for trying out the recipe and for taking the time to let me know you liked it...I sincerely appreciate it 🙂
Melanie says
These are great! I've been substituting sunbutter for the peanut butter to make them totally allergen friendly and making them at least once a week. Thank you!
Karielyn says
Hi there Melanie! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe! I love how you substituted the sunbutter for peanut butter and for sharing that tip with others who may have a peanut allergy.
Thanks for trying out the recipe and for taking the time to let me know you like it...I really appreciate it 🙂
Tina says
These are my husband's favorite cookies. He wants to know if I can cut down on the maple syrup and use some other liquid in its place. Can I use half maple syrup and half something lighter? Please, any suggestions will help. Thanks.
Karielyn Tillman says
Hi there Tina! So glad to hear that the cookies are husband-approved! I haven't tested this but you could try a liquid sugar-free sweetener like this one (https://amzn.to/2JNyWSO). You could replace the maple syrup in full or just half the amount as you suggested.
Thanks for the question and I hope it works out! 🙂
Lisa says
These were good but flattened out a lot. Maybe it was due to my ingredients, but I wondered if chilling the dough before baking might have made a difference?
Karielyn Tillman says
Hi there Lisa! I'm sorry to hear you had trouble with the recipe 🙁
I've never had them flatten out before but the only thing I could think that may have gone wrong is possibly the type of peanut butter that was used? If it's very runny or oily instead of thick and creamy that could possibly cause them to go flat.
They shouldn't need to be refrigerated like regular cookie dough because there's no butter or oil in them, but you could always try to see if that helps.
Thanks for the question and I hope that helps 🙂
Vee says
These look so delicious! Is there anything I can sub for maple syrup?:)
Karielyn says
Hi there Vee! I think you would do fine using a liquid sweetener instead of a granular sweetener so something like raw coconut nectar or raw honey (for non-vegan) should work fine, although I've never tested it.
I'm thinking a granular sweetener wouldn't give it the needed "moisture" or "liquid" for holding everything together like a liquid sweetener would and is kind of needed in a gluten-free/vegan/egg-free cookie, which is a little tricky.
I hope that helps and that you enjoy the recipe 🙂
Kristine says
Just made these and they're SO easy and SO delicious!
Karielyn says
Hi there Kristine! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed them! Thank you for trying out the recipe and for taking the time to let me know you liked it...I really appreciate it 🙂
Martin Aue says
You can also stir the chocolate chips into the almost cooled mixture if you don't mind them melting and partially combining with the peanut butter mixture. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Karielyn says
Hi there Martin! Thanks for the tip! I actually have a recipe (that came about by accident!) using that same scenario that I will be posting soon.
Thanks again and I hope you enjoy the recipe 🙂
Marie says
These look great and I love how they are made with such simple and clean ingredients!
Karielyn says
Hi there Marie! Thanks so much and I appreciate you stopping by 🙂
Caroline says
These look awesome! I love that they're nut butter-based and use ingredients I already have (except for the pink sea salt, but I imagine regular sea salt will work fine too!) 🙂
Karielyn says
Hi there Caroline! Thanks so much and you can definitely use sea salt instead of the Himalayan pink salt, it's just the variety that I prefer. Just don't use regular iodized table salt...bad bad bad!
I appreciate you stopping by 🙂
Rachel says
This recipe is right up my ally! I am going to pin these to try. I love tasty cookies that pack in some nutrition and don't require a trip to the store! 🙂
Karielyn says
Hi there Rachel! Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy the recipe and thanks for stopping by 🙂
Jenny D says
Oooh these sound fantastic! And so easy - perfect :-).
Karielyn says
Hi there Jenny! Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy the recipe 🙂
Kelly says
I thought you wree going to say that you eat cookies for dinner. And I though, oh good, I'm not the only one! 😉 These look wonderful.
Karielyn says
Hi there Kelly! I actually use them as an incentive when I pair them with a dinner they aren't so excited to eat lol!
But don't worry...I've been known to eat healthy cookies for dinner sometimes too! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
