Notes
- Store the cookies in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
- Old fashioned oats won't work for this recipe because they are larger in size.
- Here are a few variations of these cookies:
- Nut butters: Use almond butter, cashew butter or mixed nut butter instead of peanut butter.
- Chocolate: Add one tablespoon cocoa powder to the peanut butter mixture and add one tablespoon extra maple syrup.
- Nuts: Add ½ cup chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds to the cookies.
