Ingredients

Dry ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups oatmeal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup peanuts - chopped
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter - melted
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup cinnamon applesauce
  • 3/4 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam - or any flavor

Instructions

  • Mix the dry ingredients. Mix the oatmeal, flour, chopped peanuts, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder.
    2 1/2 cups oatmeal, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup peanuts, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Mix the wet ingredients. Melt the butter and peanut butter. Mix well, and then add the honey and applesauce and mix again.
    1/4 cup unsalted butter, 3/4 cup chunky peanut butter, 1/4 cup honey, 1 cup cinnamon applesauce
  • Combine. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until the dry is fully absorbed into the wet.
  • Form cookies. Form about 18 balls of dough and place on baking sheets. Use your thumbs to press holes in the center of the balls, careful to keep a nice firm circle around the holes. Spoon about one teaspoon of jelly into each hole.
    1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • Bake. Bake for approximately 15-18 minutes at 350 degrees, or until the cookies are slightly browned. Let them sit on baking sheets for 10 minutes before carefully removing to cooling racks.
  • Serve or store. These are best stored in the refrigerator. You can also freeze them for a few months (wrapped in freezer bags).
