Preparation

Step 1

Line two cookie sheets with unbleached parchment paper and set aside.

In a safe microwave bowl add all the ingredients except the rolled oats. Melt at 45 seconds intervals stirring in between until completely melted.

Add the rolled oats in a medium mixing bowl. Add the melted chocolate mixture. With a spatula combine all the ingredients and with a medium cookie scoop place cookies in the prepared cookie sheet. Spread the cookies slightly.

Let the cookies set for at least 30 minutes (I placed my cookies in the freezer for 10 minutes to set them faster).

Drizzle some melted chocolate over the cookies if desired.

NOTE: If the temperature outside is above 65 degrees fahrenheit store cookies in the refrigerator.
