As far as sweet treats go, it doesn’t get much better than these cookies. They are not too sweet, they stay moist for a few days if you can resist eating them all immediately, and they have a great combination of carbs, protein, and not-so-bad-for-you fats. The recipe can be made with conventional sugar or Truvia for those looking to cut a few extra calories, are watching their sugar intake, or if you’re looking for something diabetic-friendly. We also like to use old-fashioned oats, Ghridellie dark chocolate chips, and crunchy peanut butter for a little extra texture.
All the ingredients are mixed in one bowl with a fork or spatula and baked on two baking sheets, making minimal and speedy cleanup. Since there are only five ingredients on the list, the chances of having to make a special run to the grocery store are minimal. If you’re anything like me, a non-baker, when the moment of inspiration strikes, I better have everything on hand, or I probably won’t make the recipe. So when it's 10:00 pm, and you just remembered you’re supposed to bring something to share tomorrow, these cookies are a great last-minute save.
My Favorite Pantry Staples for This Recipe and More
Dark chocolate chips - I prefer to use dark chocolate in everything. This may be a good option if you bake a lot; otherwise, your local grocery should have a smaller quantity of the same brand available.
Bonus! Truvia is a great substitute for sugar in the recipe and doesn't compromise the taste or texture. If you've never tried this sugar alternative, there's never been a better time than right now!
