Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Place the peanut butter, maple syrup, egg, baking soda and vanilla in a medium bowl and beat on medium speed with a hand mixer until combined. Stir in the oats and dark chocolate chips.
3
Using a 1 1/2″ cookie scoop, scoop the cookie batter (about a heaping tablespoon of batter) and place on the prepared baking sheet about an inch and a half apart. Flatten the cookies slightly with the palm of your hand as they won’t spread while baking.
4
Bake for 10 minutes or until set, then remove from heat and sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the flaky sea salt and place on a wire rack to cool. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Natural Peanut Butter Separation Strategy 🥜Use the oil layer from natural peanut butter to your advantage—don't drain it. This oil is essential for achieving the perfect chewy texture and binding the flourless dough together properly.
- Chill Dough for Superior Structure 🧊Refrigerate your dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies with better definition.
- Toast Oats for Deeper Flavor 🔆Lightly toast your quick oats in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing to enhance their nutty flavor and add complexity that complements the peanut butter beautifully.
- Strategic Salt Placement for Impact 🧂Reserve half your flaky sea salt to sprinkle on top of cookies immediately after removing from the oven—the residual heat helps it adhere while providing a delightful textural contrast.
- Underbake Slightly for Optimal Chewiness ⏱️Remove cookies when the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly—they'll continue cooking as they cool, resulting in perfectly chewy cookies rather than cake-like ones.
