- 1 cup Smooth Peanut Butter (substitute with almond butter for nut-free option)
- 1/2 cup Honey (alternate with maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1/4 cup Whole Milk/Plant-Based Milk (use any non-dairy milk for vegan version)
- 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (can be replaced with melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (consider using almond extract for dynamic taste)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (replace with gluten-free flour for gluten-free cookie)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder (ensure it’s fresh for best results)
- 1/4 cup Chia Seeds (can be swapped for flaxseeds if desired)
- Preheat the oven to 320ºF (160ºC) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, honey, milk, olive oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and chia seeds, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, flatten to half an inch, and place on the tray.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden around edges; the center should stay soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the tray for 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
