Ingredients

  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup peanut butter baking chips optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325° F and line a baking sheet (or 2) with parchment paper.

  2. In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients except peanut butter chips until well combined. The dough will be thick and sticky.

  3. Gently fold in peanut butter chips, if using.

  4. Using a medium cookie scoop, drop cookies about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Gently press with a fork to make a criss-cross pattern and flatten the cookies a bit.  (*If your fork starts to stick, spray with a bit of non-stick cooking spray.)

  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cookies just begin to turn light golden brown at the edges. Make sure not to over-bake! They may look undercooked but they will set up a bit more as they cool.

  6. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.  (Cookies will be fragile so move carefully and wait to eat until they cool completely!)
